In July the 106th edition of the Tour de France, one of cycling’s three grand tours, will commence. Nicole Ramos, WSET L3 and French Wine Scholar certified, has been watching the tour since the summer of 2008. In an early celebration of this great event, we are bringing the tour to Florida Wine Academy and showing our support of the cyclists by tasting wines from the region they will be riding through. This year’s route includes Épernay in Champagne, Colmar in Alsace, Toulouse in Southwest France, Nîmes in the Southern Rhône Valley and Albertville, near the small and fascinating regions of Jura and Savoie. Students will taste their way around the country with the following wines:
– Champagne
– Lucien Albrecht Pinot Gris from Alsace
– Cosse et Maisonneuve Malbec from Cahors, Southwest France
– Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Blend from Cotes du Rhone, Rhone Valley
– Wine from Jura
The wines will be paired with a selection of French cheeses. Berets are optional.
Nicole Ramos WSET Level 3, FWS, will lead the class.
