Hosted by Barbara Drew, Wine Education Specialist
This evening is your chance to compare two classic French regions side by side, Bordeaux and the Rhône. Both offer refreshing dry whites, luscious sweet wines, and reds which span a range from rounded and fruity to edgy and earthy. Barbara has chosen four pairs of wines, each from a different vintage, so you can directly compare the best these regions have to offer. She’s included some real treats, like a Hermitage from top producer Chave, and a second growth Claret, so come along and choose your favourite.
