Two hours, eight wines, and a lot of opinions we hadn't had before

We booked a private tasting and came in knowing roughly nothing about Burgundy. The sommelier — clearly someone who has found their exact right job — walked us through eight wines without ever being condescending about our obvious gaps in knowledge. The pacing was good, the pours were generous, and the cheese pairing they put together turned what we thought would be a 90-minute date into a full evening. We left with two bottles and a mild evangelical zeal about Pinot. A solid choice for someone who wants to feel like an adult on a date.
