Online Old World v New World

Where do the best wines come from? The traditional Old World regions of France and Italy or the New World, represented by New Zealand, Australia, California and South Africa?

Does tradition trump technology? Is it always a question of terroir or can the Old World be taught some New World tricks.

In this 4 week course we explore stylistic differences between wines from Europe and wines from the New World. Each week we take a single grape variety and taste two wines made from that grape but in different parts of the world.
