Dirty Wines with Cynthia Sexton
Thursday March 17, 7:00pm-9:00pm
You’ve tasted wines reminiscent of fresh strawberries or green
apples, but have you ever tried a wine that made you think of wet stones
or road tar? Experts continue to debate whether elements from the soil
and vineyard actually end up in wines, but after drinking a crisp
Chablis grown in chalky sea-fossil soils you may become a believer.
Cynthia Sexton, dynamic manager of Vestry Wines in Tribeca, will lead us
in a tasting of six ‘dirty wines’ that reflect aspects of the soil and
environment in which they’re grown. This interactive tasting will
include samples of sometimes unexpected elements that help you
understand what you’re tasting and smelling. Leave the green beer behind
this St. Patty’s Day and come try some dirty wines!
