Ready for a taste adventure? Grab your glass and head south, way south! In this class, we’re exploring the bold, fresh, and wildly expressive wines of Australia and New Zealand.

We’ll dive into what makes these wines so distinct, from wild coastlines and sunny vineyards to cool-climate pockets and ancient soils, all while enjoying a curated flight that showcases the diversity and vibrancy of Down Under.

This class is perfect for anyone who enjoyed our Down Under Red Wine flight on our Quarter 2 menu and wants to dive even deeper into Australian and New Zealand wines.

Wine School September 10th: Finger Lakes

The Finger Lakes region of New York has quietly become one of the most exciting wine regions in the U.S., earning international acclaim for its laser-sharp Rieslings, expressive Cabernet Francs, and a growing cast of cool-climate varietals.

Wine School September 17th: Austria Part 2 with Christine

Ready to dive deeper into Austria’s dynamic wine scene? In this second installment of our Austrian wine series, we’ll turn our attention to two styles that are reshaping the way the world thinks about Austrian wine: expressive red wines and elegant sparkling Sekts.

Leading the tasting is our general manager Christine, a Certified Wine Specialist and WSET Level 3 candidate, who recently traveled through Austria’s wine country, meeting with producers and exploring the regions firsthand. She'll share behind-the-scenes insights, personal stories, and expert tips to help you understand and enjoy these wines on a deeper level.

We’ll explore native red grapes like Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and St. Laurent, cool-climate varietals that offer a fresh, food-friendly balance of fruit, spice, and structure, with plenty of Old World charm. Then, we’ll turn to Austria’s sparkling secret: Sekt. With growing attention to traditional method production, extended lees aging, and single-vineyard expressions, Austrian bubbles are quickly stepping into the spotlight.

Whether you joined us for Part I or are just jumping in, this class is your chance to discover a lesser-known, but no less exciting, side of Austrian wine, where reds and sparklers shine with authenticity, energy, and elegance.

Wine School September 24th: Judgement of Paris Revisited

In 1976, a seismic shift occurred in the world of wine. At the now-famous Judgment of Paris, California wines went head-to-head with some of France’s most respected bottles—and won. This unexpected outcome challenged centuries of tradition, changed the course of wine history, and put Napa Valley firmly on the map.

In this class, we’ll explore the legacy of that pivotal moment through a comparative tasting of two classic grape varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay—featuring standout examples from both Napa Valley and France. As we taste, we’ll discuss the original 1976 event, how wine styles have evolved since, and what makes these regions unique in their approach to these varietals.

Featured wines:

• Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Artemis – Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

• Château Lestage Darquier – Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux

• Château Montelena – Napa Valley Chardonnay

• Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault Les Corbins – Burgundy

Join us for an evening of tasting, stories, and discovery as we explore the wines and moments that reshaped the wine world, and why they still matter today.

Join singer/songwriter JT Horne for live music at Putnam’s vine/yard.

JT Horne began his musical journey at a young age, singing in his church’s choir and participating in band and chorus throughout grade school in his small hometown of Worcester, New York. At age 10, Horne picked up the guitar and piano and quickly fell in love. When the singer was given Neil Young’s “Decade” some years later from a lifelong friend, he knew at that moment he not only wanted to play music, but he also wanted to write and compose it. Since that early age, music has been his main focus and his life’s mission. Horne went on to study music and English in college, receiving his B.A. from Oswego State in 2018. The musician currently performs solo and with his band, The Leaps, throughout the country.

The songwriter’s unorthodox voice catches the audience's ear and leaves them craving for more, while his songwriting provokes feelings wrapped in nostalgia. Catch the singer performing original tunes and favorite cover songs from the country, folk, rock, blues, and Americana genres.
