Guests can meet the vintners and winemakers behind the bottles and explore how this grape expresses itself through terroir, climate and craft, from bright citrus and herbal tones to lush tropical fruit.   The guests:  • Deb Becker – Lost Valley Wines • Pam Starr – Crocker & Starr • Rebekah Wineburg – Quintessa • Brooke Shenk – St. Supéry Estate • Michael Coode – Pope Valley Winery Natalie’s Dacha will provide authentic Ukrainian delights. Guests can try bites that pair perfectly with Sauvignon Blanc, adding another layer of culture and community. The cost is $40 at www.napawineclass.com. Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa
