Introduction to Wine - Old World Wines - the Classics! East London
Join us as we explore the "Old World Wines" ......what do we mean by that? Basically we're on about the Wines of Europe, the classics! We'll have a little bit of history but mainly tasting.We'll help you navigate your way around these wines - its really frustrating that a lot of Old World Wines are named after places eg Rioja is a place - do you know the grape variety? We'll talk about and taste the classic grapes you will have heard of from Cabernat Sauvignon, to Merlot, to Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Tempranillo, Malbec....oh yeah, that one originated in France not Argentina!    We'll be tasting 6 wines heres some examples we have to choose from;
  • Rioja
  • Chianti
  • Barbaresca
  • Macon
  • Chablis
  • Cote Du Rhone
  • Primitivo
  • Montepulciano
  • Pouilly Fume
  • Albarino
  • Sancerre
  • St Emillion
  • ......crikey so many great wines, so little time!
