A great debate raging in the wine world today is over the differences between wine coming from the Old World (Europe) wines that speak of the earth and a sense of place; versus fruit-driven, big and bold wine styles from the New World (The Americas and Down Under). In recent years the influence of "flying winemakers" like Michel Rolland and American wine writers like Robert M. Parker Jr. has prompted more and more Old World wine makers to produce wines in a New World style; while increasing sophistication and maturity has inspired growing numbers of New World producers to emulate Old World models. The old definitions are quickly breaking down creating an international wine scene brimming with unique & eclectic wines for us to imbibe…a truly win-win scenario for us all. Come join us in a fascinating comparison tasting, where you can decide which style suits you best! *Please note - Cancellation with full refund is accepted up to 48 hours prior to event date. No refunds are given for cancellations after this point.
