Class Description: When most people think of Australia and New Zealand, they picture bold Shiraz and zesty Sauvignon Blanc—but the story doesn’t end there. These Southern Hemisphere neighbors produce a wide spectrum of wines, from cool-climate whites to refined reds, sparkling styles, and innovative blends. In this class, we’ll move beyond the familiar to explore the diversity, energy, and sense of place that make Australian and New Zealand wines so distinctive.
