Revisiting the School of Cool

So much information packed into one day! If you weren’t able to attend all three sessions of July 23rd’s School of Cool, or if you want to listen again to absorb even more – we’ve got you covered!

And here’s another great idea if you weren’t able to taste along with our panels the first time. We’ve listed the wines that our panels tasted so you can assemble them, then rewatch the sessions at your leisure!
