Explore Series: France vs California Tasting - July 24th - Sandy Springs

Join us for a comparative tasting that explores the fascinating contrast between Old World and New World winemaking through three classic grape varieties: Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. Tasting side-by-side examples from France and California, we'll examine how climate, terroir, and winemaking philosophy shape each wine's character, from the freshness and restraint often associated with France to the generosity and fruit expression that define many California bottlings.

This educational tasting offers a unique opportunity to discover how the same grape can tell remarkably different stories depending on where it is grown, while gaining a deeper appreciation for two of the world's most influential wine regions.

This seated tasting will start promptly at 6:00 pm at our Sandy Springs location and last about 90 minutes.

6 wines + light charcuterie and cheese
