Four bottles, four of France's great regions, one hour. Wine Director Kevin Cluppert leads an intimate tasting through Champagne, the Loire Valley, Burgundy and Bordeaux, and explains what makes each place, and each glass, distinctive.
We start with a vintage grower Champagne from old Grand Cru vines, move through crisp Sancerre and a Premier Cru Pommard, and finish with a classified red from Pessac-Léognan. You'll leave knowing how to read a French wine label and what to order next time.
Come solo or bring a friend; you'll be swapping tasting notes with your neighbors by the second glass. The tasting is served with complimentary cheeses, fresh baguette and accompaniments.
