The Languedoc/Roussillon region, stretching from the Rhone river to the Spanish border, is the biggest wine region in the world, responsible for almost a third of French production. Find out why this area is now considered one of the most exciting regions in Europe!

The Many Faces of Pinot Noir…

“God made Cabernet Sauvignon, whereas the devil made Pinot Noir.” Find out why Burgundy’s own “enfant terrible” is so sought-after, despite being such a capricious grape.

Mountain Wines

April 2^nd, 2012 7:00PM
In football, “hang-time” has a very particular meaning. As it does in basketball! In wine-making, “hang time” is the length of time grapes are able to remain on the vine before being picked. Higher altitudes mean longer “hang-times,” which assists in the accumulation of acids, sugars and flavors. For this night, we have selected four wines “with altitude” from very different parts of the world.

Chile – The Conquered becomes the Conqueror!

April 23^rd, 2012 7:00PM
Along with Christianity, European vines were brought to Chile by Spanish conquistadors and missionaries during the 16th century. Even with all that history, it is only during the last twenty years that the international market has truly been interested in Chilean wines. During this dinner you will find out why Chile is now the fifth largest exporter in the world.
