Discover How Vintage Matters With Importer Ed Addiss

Saturday, noon-4pm, come taste three pairs of French wines with importer Ed Addiss. One will be from the hot, dry, fairly small 2022 harvest. The other from the abundant, sunny, 2023 growing season. After you’ve tried them both, you’ll have a much better understanding of how vintage matters and how much it can impact how much you enjoy a wine!

For a long time now, you’ve heard wine folks like us natter on about vintage – between late frost, rain during flowering, drought mid-season, hail and thunderstorms and wet conditions during picking, sometimes we sound more like meteorologists than wine merchants!

We obsess over these things for one simple reason: the growing season has a big impact on what you find in your glass. Which you’ll taste for yourself as Ed shares the story of two recent French harvests as they express themselves in a trio of great wine pairs:

Dom Rois Mages Bouzeron 2022

Dom Rois Mages Bouzeron 2023

Dom Rois Mages Rully Blanc Les Cailloux 2022

Dom Rois Mages Rully Blanc Les Cailloux 2023

Dom la Luminaille Rasteau Garance 2022

Dom la Luminaille Rasteau Garance 2023

All six bottlings you’ll try are delicious and excellent expressions of what their makers are trying to do and the places where they grow their grapes. And of what each harvest gave them to work with. Bet you’ll find yourself with a definite preference in each pair. Come discover which is more your cup of tea (or glass of wine) and why!
