Tasting Panel Studio · Example exhibition
On Display
Late Summer 2026 · Vol. 01 · Example exhibition
A page people open on purpose. Themed rooms of advertising, designed in our studio so every plate belongs in the magazine — not a banner dropped into the scroll.
Why a gallery
Partner indexes with a leaderboard on top train people to skim past. House ads for the magazine train people to ignore the rest. This page is the third option: a destination, themed like a seasonal hanging, with every plate designed here so it looks like it belongs in Tasting Panel.
Brands in this exhibition are fictional. The format is the point — labeled advertising, never mixed into scores or Buyer's Guides.
The rules of the room
The openers
Wines built for the first pour — pale, cold, and easy to sell by the glass without talking anyone into anything.

Provence, France
The pour that opens the room.
Pale onion-skin, dry as sea air, and built for a Tuesday by-the-glass board. Not a slogan wine — a working wine with a view.
Atelier Marin
2025 Côtes de Provence Rosé

Galicia, Spain
Atlantic light, one glass at a time.
Salt, citrus pith, and a finish that keeps the next order coming. The glass you put on when the patio fills.

2024 Rías Baixas Albariño

The list-makers
Cabernet and Pinot the floor already knows how to describe. Mountain fruit, coastal fog, and labels that hold a candlelit table.

Howell Mountain, California
The mountain remembers.
Elevation, rock, and a tannin line that holds through a long dinner. For the list, not the loudest shelf talker.
Northridge Cellars
2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma Coast, California
Fog first. Fruit second.
A cooler voice of California — red fruit, wet stone, and enough tension for a steak that is not trying too hard.
Solano Ridge
2022 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

After service
Bottles that earn a well spot: cognac for the last conversation, rye for the one that runs long.

Grande Champagne, France
For the last conversation.
Warm stone fruit, polished oak, and a finish that does not hurry anyone out the door. A well bottle with a spine.
Distillerie Valois
NV Cognac VSOP

Kentucky, USA
Spice that earns its place.
Black pepper, orange peel, and a dry finish made for a stirred drink or a quiet pour. Not a novelty bottle.
Hinterland
NV Straight Rye Whiskey

Hillside, not headline
Village wines with enough character to carry a by-the-glass program and enough pedigree to sit on a reserved list.

Gaiole, Tuscany
Hillside, not headline.
Sangiovese with grip and cherry skin, from a slope that has been farmed longer than the current label language.
Fattoria delle Querce
2021 Chianti Classico

Castiglione di Sicilia, Sicily
Volcanic, and unhurried.
Nerello Mascalese with smoke, red fruit, and a stony finish. The Italian pour that still surprises the table.
Cantina Malva
2020 Etna Rosso

Lights down
Digestifs, bubbles, and the shift drink you actually write down. The room after the room.

Trieste, Italy
The shift drink, written down.
Bitter orange, alpine herbs, and a cola-spice finish. Built for the hour after the last table leaves.
Amaro Notturno
NV Amaro

Avize, France
Lights down. Bottles up.
Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs — tight, chalky, and precise enough for a last pour that still feels like an occasion.
Maison Lumen
NV Brut Champagne

For brands
Seasonal rooms, studio creative, and a page people will actually bookmark. Scores stay independent — advertising never reaches the tasting table.
