The Loire Valley has long been one of France's best-kept secrets, but the natural wine world has officially taken notice. Stretching along the banks of France's longest river, this dynamic region is producing some of the most exciting, boundary-pushing wines on the planet right now- made by a new generation of passionate, minimal-intervention winemakers. Join us as our resident wine expert, Taylor Cotton, shares insights on wine from Loire Valley. In this class, we'll explore why sommeliers, wine bars, and in-the-know drinkers everywhere are obsessing over the Loire and what makes its natural wines so distinctly alive and electric. You'll get to know the grapes, subregions, and the maverick producers behind them. Whether you're a natural wine devotee or just starting to dip your toes in, this class will leave you with a whole new corner of the wine world to explore. As always there will be plenty of lovely cheese pairings and charcuterie to go around! See you at Athens Cooks!
