Tasting Seminar: Orange Wine

Orange or amber wines are skin fermented whites that have gained rapid popularity recently, appearing on the best wine lists from Copenhagen to San Francisco. And rightfully so; an ancient method of winemaking, skin fermentation not only enhances aroma and texture but also adds a whole other dimension making this category completely distinct. In this two hour seminar, Pamela Busch will lead the tasting of six orange wines from around the world.

In 1994, she founded Hayes & Vine Wine Bar, a trend-setting venue in the Bay Area and opened CAV Wine Bar & Kitchen in 2005, receiving a three star review from San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic, Michael Bauer, who said Busch created a list that is “anything but boring.” She is was the San Francisco Examiner wine columnist from 2005-2014 and is currently writing for SF Travel.
