Event Description
French wine is not as complicated as it appears, and in this informal and relaxed evening you will learn some of the keys to unlocking its secrets as we do a quick tour around some of the most important regions.
We will be visiting the Loire, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace and the Rhone Valley tasting six wonderful wines that show the contrasting styles available in this fascinating wine country. There will also be a food pairing example to illustrate why it matters which wine you serve with food.
By the end of the evening you will have learned:
- regional differences and what they mean
- why French wine is so good with food
- the variations you can expect with different vintages
All tastings include: a minimum of six wines sourced locally so you can find them easily if you like them, full tasting notes, use of professional tasting glasses and nibbles.
