Bordeaux: Small-Group Wine Tasting and Workshop
Enhance your understanding and appreciation of French wine with this wine workshop. Begin with an overview of French wine regions from your professional wine guide. Learn about wine terminology such as 'terroir' and 'appellation' as you taste wines from regions like Burgundy, Cotes du Rhone, Bordeaux, and the Loire Valley. Find out how to decipher a French wine label. Learn how to identify a wine's aromas and flavors and how to interpret the color of a wine. As you taste, you'll no doubt start to develop – or enhance existing – preferences for these different wine characteristics. This is a skill that will serve you well long after you leave the class, since you'll learn how to not only identify but also describe the wines you like best. At the conclusion of the lesson, put all this newfound knowledge to use by creating a custom blend of your own wine using two varietals local to Bordeaux – Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Throughout the workshop, sample several different wines and nibble on hors d'oeuvres such as cured meats, cheese, and fresh bread.
