TBA - Wine Journeys with Gabriel Lucas Dimmock, Spain's #1 Sommelier: Cabernet Sauvignon & Chardonnay
Time – 6pm – 8:45pm
Wine drinkers today can find many Cabernet Sauvignon options in the market. Some Cabernet Sauvignon wines are sumptuous and fruity, others are savory and smoky. It all depends on where the Cabernet Sauvignon grows and how it’s made into wine.
Chardonnay is the world’s most popular white wine, and for good reason. It’s made from green-skinned grapes that adapt to a variety of climates, and they produce versatile wines. Chardonnay can be crisp and clean, or rich and oaky.
In this seminar, we taste examples of these popular wines and look at how where they’re grown affects their characteristics.
TBA - Martini - From the P**nstar to 007
