While the 'usual suspects' (Cabernet, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio) still dominate wine lists, 'new' (though 'old') grapes are increasingly present as dynamic programs evolve. Our guests crave variety in their food....and their wine. They look for comfort labels but want to be wowed (and educated) with what’s hip.
Do you speak Albariño? Grüner Veltliner? Tempranillo? Grenache? Malbec? Nebbiolo? You will, and with confidence, after this lively interactive session. We’ll have the fun of blind tasting, revealing the wines as we go along. Together, we’ll learn how to compare these “new kids” with “the known”, making it easy for our guests and staff. Pull yourself up to speed on the grapes that are the darlings of sommeliers and offer beguiling flavors and interest beyond the expected.
