Pinot Noir from France and Beyond
It all starts in Burgundy, where Pinot Noir was born.  From there, we also sample Alpine and New World Pinot Noir from Italy and Switzerland to Oregon and California.  This should be a lesson in contrasts and evolution with one of the world’s most touchy and noble red grapes.  $15 at the door, no reservations needed.  Presented by the staff of Good Mansion Wines. Served with cheese and baguettes. Occupancy limited to 50

Malbec
We will taste from Cahors, France – the home to Malbec –  to Argentina and compare the tannic and stewed prune notes of the rich Cahors wines with the lighter and plusher, amiable Argentian Malbecs.  Taste how wines with this grape evolved in time and place.  Presented by the staff at Good Mansion Wines  Served with cheese and baguettes

We will have a group of both four reds and four whites for you to taste with the identity of each unknown.  On the reds– Cabernet, Merlot, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir.  On the whites – Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Falanghina and Riesling.  It will be up to you to guess which is which, but it might be tougher than you expect.  Presented by the staff at Good Mansion Wines  Served with cheese and baguettes
