SUMMER CLASSIC RED WINE TASTING WITH PHILIPPE NEWLIN

Classic Red Wine Tasting- Bordeaux v. Napa
Led by Industry Leader, Philippe Newlin
 
As a revered pre- and post lockdown ritual, join us in a classic (virtual) wine tasting with industry leader Philippe Newlin. Two of the greatest wine regions on the planet, mano-a-mano! Bordeaux, the French classic, is known for its supremely elegant and age-worthy wines made predominantly from the cabernet sauvignon and merlot grapes. Napa is America’s favorite wine region, home to big, lush Cabs, Merlots and Bordeaux blends. In this class we will taste two pairs of wines, describe the origins of each and dig into the common threads of the wines of each region and how the weather, soil and approach makes these two classic growing areas great yet so different.
 
Philippe Newlin is the director of Duclot La Vinicole NY, former Associate Editor and Tasting Director of Wine & Spirits Magazine, and is currently developing a book based on the curriculum he has taught in wine class. Philippe is a graduate of Columbia, has been teaching the wine course for about 18 years, and has sold out the 70 person course every semester the last 3 years. He is a dynamic and charismatic speaker, as well as a wealth of information on all things wine- especially Bordeaux.

Whether you are an experienced oenophile or a novice learning the foundations, join us in a stimulating evening of learning and joie de vivre!

​We will send out Zoom webinar details to guests in the coming weeks.
