The world of wine has changed dramatically in the last 25 years with the addition of new technology, flying winemakers, and the rise of corporate consolidation and takeover. When you enter a store you are invaded by displays, marketing gimmicks, creatively designed labels, and promotions. That is the part of the wine experience that needs to be demystified for you, the consumer. You need to be better equipped with an education on wine marketing rather than wine appreciation. After revealing some trade secrets we will discuss the real regions of the wine world so you have a better understanding of local varietals that grow in those regions and not the usual varietals that seem to grow everywhere and anywhere. We will taste 6 wines, 3 whites and 3 reds that are indigenous to their respective regions and open you up to where it all started with small farmers growing grapes that have been grown in their regions for a long time.

Whites: Sektkellerei Sparkling Gruner Veltliner (Austria), Gentilini Robola (Greece), Argiolas Costamolino (Sardinia, Italy)

Reds: Valle Reale Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (Italy), Dom St Vincent Saumur (Loire, France), Enrique Mendoza Monastrell (Spain)
