IN PERSON: Join us on a journey through Spain and Portugal. Explore some of the most famous wine regions in these countries: Ribera del Duero, Catalunya, Duero Valley and Dao. Each week, we will taste four wines from these regions and discuss foods that pair well with each. We will get to know each region through an exploration of the historical events that have impacted its wine production, how its climate affects the grapes, the styles of wines most common to the region and the varieties that are most frequently produced in the region. If you love Iberian wine and want to deepen your knowledge, this is a great way to do it. Please join us! | Lecture + Q&A.
