About this Event
Join us for an evening in Burgundy, as we host a tasting of wines from the revered winemaking region. This structured tasting and informal discussion will cover the history and complex terroir of the land where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reign supreme. Try a range of rare wines, learn how to decipher their labels, how to best maneuver complex wine lists, and find your new favorites.
