Loire 101 - from Muscadet to Sancerre

Get to know one of France’s most exciting and underrated wine regions in Loire 101. We’ll start on the Atlantic coast with the crisp, sea-breeze snap of Muscadet and follow the river inland through some of the Loire’s most iconic styles and grapes. Expect Chenin Blanc, earthy and elegant Cabernet Franc, zippy Sauvignon Blanc, and even a little Pinot Noir. Along the way, we’ll break down the region’s key appellations, talk producers, and connect the dots between place, grape, and style. If you’re looking to build a solid foundation in French wine or just want to drink some killer bottles with a story, this event is the move.
