Wine Atelier | May Workshop
The Rhône Valley: Geography, Wind, Heat & the Shape of Power
Thursday, May 28 | 6:30 PM
📍 Petit Philippe | La Cave Cellar Room

Charlotte, NC 28209
This month, we travel through the Rhône Valley to explore how place shapes power in wine.
From the steep granite slopes of the north to the sun-soaked stone vineyards of the south, we’ll taste how geography, climate, and terrain influence aroma, texture, structure, and energy in the glass.
Through six guided wines, we’ll compare:
— Rhône whites & texture
— Southern Grenache-led blends
— Northern Rhône Syrah & structure
Along the way, we’ll connect what we taste to the land itself: wind, heat, slope, soil, elevation, and appellation.
Led by Mark + Ella, with firsthand stories and insights from recent visits throughout the Rhône Valley, including Ampuis, Tain-l’Hermitage, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
