Wine OR Wine & Food

I’ll have a glass of Merlot please! Which Merlot? From what region, do you like it? Do you always get the same merlot in the glass? No, of course not, Merlot can be very different based on the climate that it is produced in. Merlot is a great blending grape as well some of its blends dominate the highest ranked Bordeaux wines in the world for taste, quality, and longevity.  

Join us in a fun, relaxed, interactive environment to taste and learn about Merlot from top producing regions around the world. Walk away with an understanding of what influences the differences amongst them, how to find and choose those styles that you prefer, and pair appropriately with food.
