An educational wine experience presented by Michael Gallant

Summary:

Beaujolais is one of the most underrated wine regions in all of France.  It is ideally situated south of Burgundy and north of Lyon.  It is a beautiful region that history and much of the wine industry has ignored.  The predominant grape is Gamay and the region is best known for its 10 Crus.  In this class we will examine several of the Crus and some Beaujolais and Beaujolais villages.

Sit back and relax as your sommelier instructor sets the stage for an unforgettable, educational wine experience. Our wine classes provide a unique context for the enjoyment of wine appropriate for every level of interest and expertise.

Throughout the evening, you will learn about the history, culture and language of Beaujolais wine through visual presentations, commentary and anecdotes from our personal experiences. And best of all, you’ll leave us with greater confidence, passion and understanding of the grapes so you can ultimately experience the pleasure of wine.
