Get to Know Your Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Grenache

Learning your grapes is the first step to understanding wine, just like learning your colors is a first step to understanding painted artwork.  But in the same way that blue may be sky blue or aqua and still be blue, each grape expresses various hues of flavor - from tart to toasty, for instance, or from ripe berries to aged meat.  Join Advanced Sommelier Mary Ross as we taste 3 prominent grapes in 2 styles each, to understand how soil, climate and human culture create a rainbow of flavor that is wine. Tasting includes 6 wines: 2 styles of Sauvignon Blanc (from France and Chile), 2 styles of Pinot Noir (from Oregon and France - Champagne!), and 2 styles from the Grenache, the original Rhone Ranger! (Spain and France). Tasting noshes will be served during class.Learn more about Advanced Sommelier Mary Ross here.
