Grape Varieties Around the World

This master class explores wines from classic regions around the world. Through a guided tasting of two wines from each grape variety (Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Malbec) participants will experience how terroir affects each pair.  (* Terroir is how a particular region’s environment affects the taste of wine).
