Global Wine Tour - Exploring Grape Varieties

The "Exploring Grape Varieties" series of workshops caters to those who have discovered a passion for wine, but want to expand their knowledge beyond the traditional "noble" grape varieties.

Hosted at the Fine Wine Reserve's elegant tasting room, join David Calado, Global Wine Tour's Wine Education Director, as he takes you on a visual presentation together with a flight of 8 very different wines focusing on non-noble grape varieties.  Some examples of these would include Malbec, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, Torrontes, Viognier, Nero D'Avola, Tempranillo,. Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Franc.  There are numerous grape varieties used throughout the world, and many of them are only native to certain countries.  Many of these varietals make wonderful wines, and Global Wine Tour wants to introduce them to you to expand your love of wine as well as your knowledge of the subject.

Many wine afficionados are stuck in the Shiraz and Chardonnay box when it comes to making wine choices.  Global Wine Tour wants to take you of of the box you've painted yourself into, and open you up to a whole world of wonderful wine waiting for you to discover it!
