Wine Class - Garnacha & Tempranillo

For Spanish wine enthusiasts, garnacha and tempranillo are the super star grapes. Both grow in many regions across Spain and are the basis of classic wines like Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat. They can both be made in a variety of styles, and they are both available at a range of prices - from extremely affordable to eye-wateringly expensive. With each grape showing such versatility, it is an exciting adventure to tease out the essence of each, comparing and contrasting their various attributes. It is like making a venn diagram but with more wine and less math.

In this class, Anita Bender will lead you on an exploration of garnacha and tempranillo. You will taste wines made solely from garnacha and solely from tempranillo, both inside and outside of Spain. You will also taste wines where these two grapes are blended. Along the way you will learn about how these wines are made and discuss what makes each unique. Join us as we explore the many faces of Spain's favorite red grapes.
