Virtual French Wine Tasting

For centuries, the vineyards of France triumphed over plague, piracy and ground war to produce the world’s most desired wines. Today, even with sagging sales, the wines, wine law and winegrowing philosophy of France remain standards to which all other countries compare.  Join Advanced Sommelier, Mary Ross, in this virtual class as you taste three prominent styles and explore French winegrowing culture, still the basis of fine winegrowing around the world.

To enhance your experience, we recommend you’re tasting the same wines with Mary Ross during class. Order your three bottles of wine for curbside pickup from The Chopping Block Lincoln Square on Tuesday 2/23, Thursday 2/25 or Saturday 2/27 from 3-5pm.

• Champagne Lanson “Black Label, Brut”, Champagne, France, N.V.
• La Parade, Sancerre, Loire Valley, France, 2017
