Pressoir.wine, an organization that holds wine events, is an extension of two wine extravaganzas — La Paulée, a series of annual celebrations, and La Fête de Champagne for Champagne tastings and dinners — founded by the sommelier Daniel Johnnes. Pressoir puts on wine trips, tastings and other events, and, with Covid-19, online Zoom wine classes with guest experts. At the end of the month, Kevin Zraly, a sommelier and teacher since 1978, will discuss the early years of his career. Follow NYT Food on Twitter and NYT Cooking on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
