Master Class: The Great Wine Closure Debate
Thursday, May 28 at 6:00PM
What is the best way to close a wine bottle? Natural cork, Agglomerated/technical corks, Screw caps (caps/screw tops), or Synthetic corks? Wine bottle closures come in several forms, each influencing preservation, aging, and convenience.
Closure choice is about intended aging, consistency, and cost, not quality. Great wine comes with every closure—dogma optional. Each closure reflects a balance between tradition, practicality, and the intended style of the wine. Let’s talk about it over some great Stone House Vineyard wine and food pairings from Chef Kristine. We will feature our Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Pinnacle. We hope you join us!
Master Class: The Life & Times of Scott
Thursday, July 30 at 6:00PM
Stone House Vineyard’s own Scott Fortier will talk about his 41 years as a federal government employee. He retired from the U.S. Air Force in June, 1997 and retired “again” after 21 years as a Department of Defense (DoD) Civilian. He will talk about his time as a language analyst, operations coordinator, intelligence assistant, and senior DoD leader. He has spent time around the world, visiting or being stationed/deployed in almost 50 countries. Of course, there will be some information about wine, and our delicious wine and food pairings. In recognition of Scott’s career, we will feature our Enargeia Bordeaux-style red blend.
Master Class: A Taste of California
Thursday, September 24 at 6:00PM
Tasting Stone House Vineyard wines from Napa Valley and Sonoma County offers a study in contrast shaped by climate and style. Napa Valley is known for its polished, structured wines—especially Cabernet Sauvignon—showing ripe fruit, firm tannins, and a sense of power. Sonoma County, with its broader range of microclimates, produces wines that often lean more toward elegance and restraint, from vibrant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast to richer expressions inland. Side by side, Napa tends to emphasize intensity and richness, while Sonoma highlights nuance, freshness, and diversity. Our featured wine will be the latest release of our Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley.
Master Class: A Taste of Australia
Thursday, November 19 at 6:00PM
Last Master Class, we highlighted Stone House Vineyard’s California wine portfolio. This month, we go back to Angela’s roots to taste some of the best wines from Australia’s Barossa and Eden Valleys. Tasting wines from Barossa Valley and Eden Valley reveals a striking interplay between power and finesse. Barossa Valley is famed for its bold, full-bodied Shiraz, offering rich dark fruit, chocolate, and spice with a plush, opulent texture. Just next door, Eden Valley sits at higher elevations, producing more restrained and elegant wines—particularly Shiraz with lifted aromatics and vibrant acidity, as well as pristine, lime-driven Riesling. Together, they showcase how subtle shifts in altitude and climate can shape dramatically different expressions within the same region. Our featured wine will be Angela’s Wish, a classic Barossa red blend.
