France produces many of the finest wines loved around the world. Their emphasis on the impact of the “terroir” for where the grapes are grown makes their wine labeling practices different from other countries and often difficult to understand. Join Sommelier Erica Archer for a guided tasting and discussion with an incredible line-up of French Reds from the regions of Bordeaux Right-Bank and Bordeaux Left-Bank, Bandol, and The Languedoc. You’ll delve into each wine and style to see, smell, sip, and discuss regional influences on style, body, flavor, aroma, price, food pairing and much more. Bring your love for wine and join us in this fun event as we taste wines some of France’s great red wine regions.
