- **Event Description**: Get ready to delve into the secrets of the Loire Valley wines with Kyle Martinez in this exclusive masterclass!About this EventJoin us for a Loire Valley masterclass led by Kyle Martinez of Cynthia Hurley Fine Wines, featuring a focused lineup from three producers we’re genuinely excited about right now: Vigneau Chevreau, Serge Laporte, and Couly-Dutheil.This is a guided, terroir-forward tasting built around the Loire’s greatest hits and its most compelling details: Chenin Blanc in all its forms, Sancerre with real texture and nuance, and Cabernet Franc that’s fresh, savory, and incredibly food-friendly. Expect a relaxed, welcoming class with structure, storytelling, and plenty of room for questions.Featured Producers and What Makes Them SpecialVigneau Chevreau (Biodynamic) ?We’ll taste a trio that shows why biodynamic Chenin can feel both precise and generous. Expect a pétillant expression plus two still Chenin bottlings that lean into purity, mineral tension, and the Loire’s signature freshness.Serge Laporte (Lutte raisonnée) ?Laporte’s approach is thoughtful and restrained: no pesticides, no herbicides, no chemical fertilizers, and fungicide only when absolutely necessary. The wines are classic, clean, and quietly expressive. We’ll taste both Sancerre Blanc and Sancerre Rosé, with an emphasis on how farming choices and site translate into texture, energy, and finish.Couly-Dutheil (Lutte raisonnée, sustainability-forward) ?Couly-Dutheil also farms with a minimal-input philosophy: no pesticides, no herbicides, no chemical fertilizers, and fungicide only when truly needed. They also prioritize sustainable practices that reduce the need for interventions overall. We’ll taste Chenin “Les Chanteaux” and Blanc de Franc, a Loire specialty that highlights Cabernet Franc in a fresh, unexpected way.What You’ll Taste ?A guided lineup featuring:Biodynamic Chenin, including a pétillant selectionSingle-cuvée Chenin bottlings that highlight soil and mineralitySancerre Blanc and Sancerre Rosé from carefully farmed vinesChenin from Couly-Dutheil plus Blanc de Franc for something a little differentWhat This Masterclass Covers ?A Loire roadmap you can actually use: grapes, places, and stylesWhat biodynamic and lutte raisonnée farming really means, and how it shows up in the glassWhy Chenin is one of the world’s most versatile grapesWhat Sancerre can taste like beyond the usual shorthandWhy Cabernet Franc shines in the Loire, especially at the tableQ&amp;A throughout, plus buying guidance at the endDetails ??️ Date: Thursday, February 26⏰ Time: 6:00–8:00 PM?
