Saturday, September 21st
4:30 - 7:00

At this weekend's Saturday Tasting, you need to expect the unexpected!  We're going to taste a variety of wines that might not come from where you would think.  Not that all of the growing areas are unique, (although one certainly is!), but the wines we will sample are from grapes that are not always associated with those regions.  When we mention Argentina, you are likely to think Malbec, not Sangiovese or Semillon.  Those grapes are much more famous in their traditional regions of Tuscany and Bordeaux.  Chile has some famous Cabernet Sauvignon, but when was the last Chilean Cabernet Franc you tried?  Pinot Noir has a long history in the Alsace region of France, but for most American wine fans that area is often thought of exclusively producing white wines, and I've seen many knowledgeable drinkers be surprised to find Pinot from there.  And lastly, have you ever had a wine from India?  Yeah, neither had we, until we stumbled on Sula Vineyards from Nashik, the 'Napa Valley of India'.  We'll try their Sauvignon Blanc for a truly one of a kind experience!  So please join us this Saturday as we dive into wines from familiar grapes out of surprising places.
