Wine Tasting – French Hidden Gems

We are thrilled to announce our next tasting – a fun exploration of some of the lesser-known regions in France. Join General Manager Travis Doyle on Wednesday, March 6 at 6 p.m. as he leads us through five unique red wines.

The lineup includes a well-rounded tour of the country. We will explore wines from Savoie and Jura, two tiny winemaking regions in eastern France, close to the Swiss Alps. There is a Malbec from Southwest France, a warm region located very close to Spain, and a GSM blend from Provence, whose proximity to the Mediterranean shapes the terroir. We finish with a unique red blend from the small IGP of Vaucluse in the Rhône Valley.
