About the Event

Cabernet Sauvignon truly is the king of the grapes – it is the most popular wine in the world, it is a very hardy grape and therefore one of the easier grapes to grow and it’s flavor profile is all-around HUGE– in color, smell, taste and alcohol! It has many different expressions, from more elegant earth-driven Bordeaux to big in-your-face fruity Californians.  

Come join us as we explore the different taste profiles that Cabernet Sauvignon can express, as we learn about regional, climatic and maturation influences. The wines we will be tasting are:

- Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 2017 (if you cannot get this wine, please use a fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon, like many wines from California)

- Los Vascos GRANDE RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (if you cannot get this wine, please use a mineral driven Cabernet Sauvignon, as they tend to be from Chile)

- Requiem Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (if you cannot get this wine, please use an oak-heavy Cabernet Sauvignon.  Many Californian wines are oak heavy)

If you can get one (or all!) of these wines to taste along with me, that is fabulous!  If not, feel free to supplement with any Cabernet Sauvignon, and please let me know ahead of time which wine you'll be tasting.  

Please note, I may be taping the class to use for my own purposes, including potentially adding to my website.  If you do not wish to be included in the tape, please don't turn on your video and disguise your name.

Cheers!
