Wine Class - Cabernet Franc: Grandfather Grape and its Relations

Join Certified Sommelier Josh Voytek on an exploration of the genetic heritage of the Cabernet Franc grape. One of the major grapes of Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Franc is a parent of both Cabernet Sauvignon (the King of Red Grapes) and Merlot, as well as Carmenere (the Lost Bordeaux grape, now planted extensively in Chile). In this class, we will taste some examples of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet, Merlot, and Carmenere, to see the progression of the genetics when combined with other grapes, as well as the role Cabernet Franc can play in blends when combined with other compatible grapes. Whether you are already a fan of some or all of these grapes, or just want to learn more about the role genetics plays in grape varietals, come to this fun and unique educational experience to kick off 2026!
