Please join us for Passport to the World of Wine, Wednesday March 3 from 6-8pm, featuring Merlot.
Passport to the World of Wine provides an opportunity to taste a selection of five wines from exceptional growing areas and different countries paired with a delicious culinary selection.
Merlot notoriously got a bad wrap from the movie Sideways, but it is an element in some of the most highly acclaimed wines in the world. It is used as both a blending grape and as a varietal wine. Its softer character fuses nicely with the more aggressive cabernet sauvignon grape.
