LA CÔTE D’OR: A RARE GRAND CRU TASTING EXPERIENCE

MONDAY OCTOBER 5TH / FROM 1:30PM TO 4:00PM

Have you ever tasted Bonnes-Mares and Clos du Vougeot side-by-side? Or Echezeaux and Charmes-Chambertin? How does Chevalier-Montrachet contrast with Corton-Charlemagne? Join us for this remarkable session and experience these pairings, and more.

Don Kinnan CWE, the Wine Scholar Guild’s lead instructor of its Master Burgundy Certificate program will guide us on this memorable tasting journey. Before we finish, we will have tasted eight of Burgundy’s grands crus from La Cote d’Or and Chablis. The wines chosen have excellent provenance with several coming directly from the cellars of producers.

What a shame to let life pass by without having tasted the best of nature’s gifts.
