Cabernet Sauvignon is often called "The King Of Grapes" and its royal heritage stretches all around the world. Come taste and learn why.
About this Event

Immerse yourself in the bold and captivating world of Cabernet Sauvignon with a wine tasting class that journeys through the many expressions of this iconic grape. We'll explore traditional Cabernet from Bordeaux, where it shines in classic blends, and compare it to the vibrant, fruit-forward styles of regions like California, Chile, and South Africa. You'll gain insight into the differences between Old World elegance and New World intensity, as well as Cabernet’s vital role in blended wines. Whether you're a fan of structured reds or powerful, fruit-forward wines, this class will deepen your appreciation for Cabernet Sauvignon in all its forms.

We always have bread, olives, and antipasto with class as we explore wine and food pairing fundamentals as well.
