Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this wine tasting class:

For centuries, the vineyards of France triumphed over plague, piracy and ground war to produce the world’s most desired wines.  Today - despite sagging sales - the wines, wine law and wine growing philosophy of France remain standards to which all other countries compare.  

Join Advanced Sommelier Mary Ross as we taste five prominent styles and explore French wine growing culture, still the basis for fine wines around the world. Tasting noshes will be served during class.

You must be 21 or over to attend. Please present valid ID at the time of check-in.
