Sign up for the class and learn techniques from deglazing to braising. The class covers an introduction to pairing wines with food as well.

Coterie Cellars, Willow Glen's Winery, is pioneering the Urban Winery movement in the South San Francisco Bay Area. As one of the smallest wineries in California, we produce wines made by hand, berry to bottle, from highly regarded vineyards in the Russian River Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, and Fiddletown. Our philosophy is to work only with small, exemplary growers, to understand the unique characteristics that each vineyard offers, and to respect those characteristics through gentle winemaking in order to produce the most flavorful and evocative wines for each site.
