IN PERSON: Join us on a journey through the vineyards of the Adriatic. We will explore some of the most famous wine regions surrounding the Adriatic Sea, such as those in Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro. Each week, we will taste four wines from these areas and discuss foods that pair well with each. We will get to know each region through an examination of the historical events that have impacted its wine production, how its climate affects the grapes, the styles of wine most common to the region and the varieties that are most frequently produced in the region. If you love Mediterranean wine and want to deepen your knowledge, this is a great way to do it. Please join us! | Lecture + Q&A.
