An educational wine experience presented by Michael Gallant

Summary:

From Dijon in the north to Macon in the south, Burgundy is arguably the most fascinating wine region in France.  While there is little doubt that amazing wines are being produced in Burgundy everyday, there is a lot to learn to tackle this complicated region.  We will give you some basic guidelines to tackle what wines to buy, what properties to visit, and some ideas about generally how to tackle the wines of Burgundy.  We will taste some Chablis, some Pouilly Fuisse and some village and Premier Cru wines.

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 Burgundian 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.
