Event Description
Explore how New World winemakers draw inspiration from classic Old World styles in "Modern Classics." Join us for a tasting of wines that pay homage to the great European regions like Bordeaux & Rioja but with the unique flair and innovation of New World terroirs.
We’ll taste six wines that capture the essence of Old World traditions—bold reds, refined whites, and aromatic blends—crafted in regions like California, Chile, and South Africa. Along the way, learn how these winemakers adapt techniques and grape varieties to their own climates, resulting in fresh interpretations that embody the best of both worlds.
No prior wine knowledge is needed. Whether you're a budding enthusiast or just curious, come enjoy a relaxed and educational evening discovering how classic European styles live on in the New World!
