Class Description

Description

This class covers an in-depth history, geography, climate and the wines of the Rhone in the warm south of France.

The Rhone River serves as the gravitational axis around which its two halves revolve; the northern half clings tightly, the southern half expands outward and experiences less pull to the riverbanks. These two different wine cultures possess distinctive soils and topographies and they craft vastly disparate wines with unique personalities. It's one region, but two brave new worlds. Explore them both. This class covers an in-depth history, geography, climate and the wines of the Rhone in the warm south of France.
