THEME: Comparison Tasting & Masterclass
- Wines From The Edge came together from a mutual appreciation and belief from two distinct wine regions that wines that ripen at the end of the growing season, or exist on the edge of ripening, create high-quality wines of distinction.
- Despite being youthful industries and small in production within the global wine landscape it is recognized by wine experts that the wines of Oregon and New Zealand are reliably premium quality, with a strong commitment to sustainable production in both the vineyard and cellar. Both regions excel in cool-climate varieties but with industry maturity and a changing climate these two regions are expanding both their varietal footprint and wine styles.
- Join Oregon based Master of Wine, Bree Stock, and New Zealand based Master Sommelier, Cameron Douglas, as the lead you through the foundations of these regions and their commitments to continued sustainable evolution.
Compare 8 New Zealand Wines with 8 Oregon state wines
Variety of red, white and sparkling wines
6 blind wines to test your tasting skills
