# Event Details - **Event Name**: Not Your Mama's Wine: Rethinking Past Wine Trends - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join Erin Dudley in a wine class where we will look back at some of the most popular wine trends of the past while tasting modern versionsAbout this EventLike so many industries, wine is incredibly susceptible to trends. And, like so many trends, many wine trends have gotten completely out of hand, and when they became unpopular, consumers were put off of certain wines forever. For example, the overly buttery Chardonnay wines we find on the grocery shelves today - "Butter" I'm looking at you - have caused huge numbers of wine drinkers to avoid any Chardonnay they see, eventhough it is one of the most diverse grapes in the world! This is a pattern that has repeated over and over across the history of wine, and Erin is here to ease you back into some balanced, traditional wines who's reputations may have been ruined by past trends. All rosé is not sweet like White Zinfandel, and all Napa Cabernet has not undergone the overly high-alcohol and oaky "Parkerization" that we saw in the 1990s. Let's taste some of the wines that didn't fall for the trendy!Join us for a casual seated wine class with our Wine Director, Erin Dudley, where we will discuss wine trends - what make them great, and what damage they may cause - while tasting six modern and traditional wines styles that may have been affected by trends in the past at Planet Wine!Included with your ticket:Seated wine class with with Wine Director, Erin DudleyTasting of six fine winesSmall serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tastingDiscounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/not-your-mamas-wine-rethinking-past-wine-trends/100001991218034744 - **Event Categories**: workshops, nonprofit, wine-tasting - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Planet Wine - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 46.06, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Planet Wine - **lat**: 38.8240307 - **long**: -77.0585518 - **full address**: Planet Wine, 2004 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Not Your Mama's Wine: Rethinking Past Wine Trends - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/3eb550e1ceab16cc34bb0f5298728fc330ad24c1a0e46c4e7c01152a7637a586-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf6edd9-gmir.jpg?v=1780693795 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Not Your Mama's Wine: Rethinking Past Wine Trends being held? - **A:** Not Your Mama's Wine: Rethinking Past Wine Trends takes place on Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Planet Wine, 2004 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Not Your Mama's Wine: Rethinking Past Wine Trends? - **A:** Not Your Mama's Wine: Rethinking Past Wine Trends is organized by Planet Wine Shop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
