Exploring the Wines of the Great Northwest
Many vineyards of Oregon and Washington are on the same latitude as France’s Bordeaux and Burgundy regions. This has resulted in similar climatic conditions and has made this region second in the U.S. (behind California) in the production of wine. Critics are praising winemakers for the quality emerging from this area as they turn grapes into gold. Grab a glass and taste them for yourself!
Please bring six wine glasses to each class.
