Australia & New Zealand VIEW MENU
The vast expanse of Australia is home to many large grape growing regions, where the focus is on stream-lined, consistent winemaking, whereas New Zealand's regions are concentrated in a very "green" setting, with strong focuses on sustainable agriculture. The New World styles of wine are exciting, palate pleasing and unique.

Grenache & Garnacha VIEW MENU
In France, it is Grenache. In Spain, Garnacha. We know it as an elegant wine that can be gulped young and fruity, in Navarra or Cotes du Rhone. Or, it can be sipped sophisticated and mature, as in Chateauneuf du Pape and Priorat.

Piedmont VIEW MENU
The famous northern Italy region known for opulent wines, white truffles and wonderful cheeses. The villages of Alba, Asti and the hills of the Langhe make for great ready to drink wines that we will explore.

Bordeaux VIEW MENU
France’s “King” of wine regions, Bordeaux is always one of our favorites. These classic wines are a perfect match for the rich dishes of the region. Not only known for their Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wines, but crisp, minerally white wines are made here as well. Let’s not forget some of the world’s most delectable dessert wines too!

Syrah/Shiraz VIEW MENU
This week we are conducting a study of the ancient varietal, Syrah. Native to the Rhône Valley in France, many hundreds of years ago, the Syrah grape grew wild and uncultivated. Today, several French appellations have set the benchmark for excellence and brought international praise and renown to the Syrah grape. Refered to as Shiraz in the New World, winemakers have pushed this varietal into new levels of popularity.

California VIEW MENU
The 1970’s brought about a huge change in the world of wine. California started experimenting in winemaking, and in the famous Paris tasting of 1976, the world finally took notice of California’s tremendous potential to be a world competitor and producer of great wine. Today, this region is flourishing and has broadened the spectrum to include many international varietals.

The Cabernet Family VIEW MENU
A scientific glimpse into the world of wine: Did you know that Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet France are the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon? We can note the differences here, but can we perceive any similarities? Science is always more fun with a glass of wine in your hand!

Spain VIEW MENU
From the dusty plateau of La Mancha to the green northwest of Galicia, the wines of Spain span from ageable reds based on Tempranillo and Garnacha, to crisp, fruity whites made of Albarino and Verdejo. This evening we will taste both classic and little known Spanish wine producers!
