Join us Thursday, October 9 at 6:30pm for an exploration of the renowned winegrowing region of Bordeaux. We will demystify the complex appellation system and terroir while we taste examples of the region’s impressive bottlings from Pauillac in the Left Bank to Saint Emilion in the Right with many enjoyable stops in between.
About Bordeaux
Bordeaux is one of the oldest and largest wine growing regions in the world, producing more than 800 million bottles of wine annually from more than 12,000 châteaux. Over its 2000 year history of wine production, Bordeaux has divided itself into three general growing regions; codified a system of appellations that indicate the specific area from which a wine hails; established through trial and error the grapes varietals that make the best wine given the terroir and growing conditions; and in the last 150 years, created classifications that rank the wines by quality, and unintentionally, by price. The wines are most beautiful and impressive.
