December 1 2019 | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM75 9th Avenue, New York 10011
You’ve heard of Côte Rôtie and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but often the price tag that comes with the bottles from these famous appellations can be discouraging to the novice attempting to explore what these regions are all about. In this class we’ll taste 6 examples from the North & South Rhône Valley, while discussing the history, appellation laws, grape varieties, styles, and iconic producers. You’ll learn where to find value for Syrah in AOCs like Crozes-Hermitage and Saint Joseph, and for Grenache blends in Gigondas and Côte du Rhône. Curated cheese boards will be provided.
