Great Wines with Philly Roots
November 12 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Seven wineries. Four extraordinary wine regions. One Philadelphia connection.
Taste wines from California, New Zealand, Texas, and Pennsylvania—and discover the stories that never make it onto the label. Wine School founder and former winemaker Keith Wallace personally leads this special edition of Winemaker Secrets, opening bottles from producers he knows, admires, and once taught.
From the Wine School of Philadelphia to Vineyards Across the World
Before they were making wine and building wineries, these winemakers and winery owners were students in our classrooms. Now, their wines are coming back to school:
- Andrew Yingst — Grace Winery: Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Valley.
- Amy Thorn — Thorn Hill Vineyards: Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Lake County.
- Jenny Schultz — Jolie-Laide Wines: An adventurous approach to California wine.
- Matt Check — Cellar Beast Winehouse: Pennsylvania winemaking with West Coast fruit.
- Dan Whalen — Annadel Estate Winery: A Philadelphia connection in Sonoma wine country.
- Daniel Brennan — Decibel Wines: New Zealand wine with unmistakable Philly roots.
- Barbara Lecuona — Siboney Cellars: A passion for 100% Texas-grown wines.
Through their bottles, we’ll explore how vineyard choices, grape varieties, and decisions in the cellar shape what you taste. Expect contrasting styles, personal stories, and practical insights to help you discover your next favorite wine.
Whether you’re a longtime student or joining us for the first time, come enjoy an evening that brings the winemaker’s world a little closer to your glass.
Taste the wines. Hear the stories. Discover what happened after class.
