Willamette Valley Immersion with special guest Tim Wilson of Denison Cellars

Twin Cities Wine Education presents a special night with a special guest.

Willamette Valley Immersion with Tim Wilson of Denison Cellars

Tim Wilson grew up on Lincoln Avenue and Prior, in the heart of Mac-Groveland in Saint Paul. Fate led him to Oregon, where he became a top-notch winemaker for several of the best wineries in the Willamette Valley. In 2009, after establishing connections with some of the top vineyards in the region, he and his wife Denise struck out on their own and formed Denison Cellars.

This winery is as boutique as it comes, making only 1000 cases of wine annually. Some of their single vineyard production is made in crazy tiny quantities, like only 50 cases. Denison Cellars wines have a worldwide following (especially in Japan) and are not easy to find.

In our class, we'll cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Changes in Willamette Valley over the last 20 years (climate, economics, wine styles)
  
• How best to visit Willamette Valley
• The Trials and Tribulations of small-format winemaking
• How winemaking decisions are made at Denison Cellars
• A deep dive into Pinot Noir Clones
• And much more!

We will be tasting a range of Tim's wines during the class and provide comprehensive handouts and maps. This is shaping up to be the deepest dive of the year into Willamette Valley and its wines.
