About this Event

Grenache Noir - a grape that can produce red wines that range from fruity and medium-bodied to rich, meaty, and full-bodied, while also contributing to a gorgeous, fresh rosé. A Jack of all trades! Join us for this master class as we trace Grenache's origins in Spain and development across France to the Western USA and beyond. We'll try a handful of Grenache-based blends and single-varietal wines and celebrate the perfect grape for summer, in all its forms.

The class will be led by Afton Kortz, Barnard Griffin's Wine Club Manager, who is a French Wine Scholar and holds a Level 3 certification in Wine from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
