There isn’t much overlap in SF between last year’s and this coming year’s producer list.
My burgundy knowledge is a D+ at best. What’s the better lineup between SF verticals and SF grand tasting? Did the SF verticals last year and really enjoyed it.
If I went to anything it would be Grands Jours de Bourgogne
Anyone have input on the verticals tasting? Looks pretty great, but I’m concerned with the mass tasting experience.
In the past do these tastings sell out immediately?
No it doesn’t sell out immediately. The dinners do.
Last year, I went to NYC verticals rather than grand tasting as a Burgundy novice and found it very helpful. Tasting a bunch of 2024s will not be as educational as tasting a bunch of wines of different vintages, getting a sense how the wines change at 5/10/15/20 years.
That being said, La Paulee is a really amazing rare experience to taste so many great wines at what is a reasonable entry cost for Burgundy. This year, I’m definitely going to more events.

Vertical u learn a bit more aging curve of a producer
Grand tasting u learn more the breadth / portfolio of a producer. Including maybe a top end wine.
Ie rav
u taste 3 vintages of MdT at vertical.
U taste village. MDT. Clos. At grand tasting.
Summary: go to both?

Yea I was placed on waitlist monday and am first on there
SF dinners are relatively affordable. Montille wines from 76, 79, 83, and 85 in one sitting? Then half the Angerville dinner is Ducsters? Yum.
