Join us in Bar Jo on the top floor of Josephine for a wine tasting and class centered around the top Red Blends of France!

The "Red Blend" wine category has taken off in popularity in the past few decades, as wine consumers recognize the power of blending different red wines to create a balanced, complex wine that can please the masses! But it wasn't California that put the red blend on the map! Regions like Bordeaux and the Rhône Valley in France were the real trendsetters, making the perfect red blends that would be copied and emulated around the world.

Join us for a casual seated wine class with our Wine Director, Erin Dudley, where we will discuss blending and the history of the red blend while tasting six of our favorite classic French red blends at Bar Jo!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with certified sommelier and Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley CSW
  • Tasting of six fine red blends!
  • Small serving of artisanal cheese and accoutrements
