About Event

🍷 Old World vs. New World: A Wine Showdown! 🌎

Six varietals.  Twelve wines.  Two worlds.  Which side will win your palate?

Think you can tell a French wine from a California wine?  A classic Old World Bordeaux from a bold New World Cabernet?  Come put your taste buds to the test!

Join us for a fun, guided wine adventure as we explore 12 carefully selected wines across six varietals, pairing Old World classics against their New World counterparts.  We'll travel from France to California, New Zealand to South Africa, discovering how climate, tradition, and winemaking styles shape what's in your glass.

Will you prefer the earthy, savory elegance of Old World wines?  Or the ripe fruit and expressive flavors of the New World?  You might be surprised by your favorites!

🍷 More Than Just a Wine Tasting

This isn't simply an excuse to drink great wine (although we'll certainly do that!).  As a certified sommelier, I'll guide you through each pairing, sharing insights into the grapes, regions, winemaking traditions, and tasting characteristics that make each wine unique.  Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning to explore the world of wine, you'll leave with a better understanding of what you enjoy - and why.

And, of course, great wine deserves great food!  We'll have beautiful charcuterie boards featuring imported meats, cheeses, nuts, grapes, and other delicious accompaniments, along with additional snacks to keep us happily tasting.

All of this in a comfortable, charming atmosphere - a relaxed, intimate setting for good conversation, new discoveries, and wonderful company.
