Description
Pair with Kevin Zraly's Advanced Wine Class: The World of Cabernet Sauvignon
Monday, April 24, 2023 7:00 p.m. -8:30 p.m. EST
Cabernet Sauvignon is Kevin’s favorite grape! The largest percentage of wines in his wine cellar are made from this “Noble” variety. His first experience was with the great Chateaux of Bordeaux, followed by the powerful Cabs from Napa. Besides Bordeaux and Napa, Cabernet Sauvignon is planted all over the world, with extraordinary wines from the Colchagua Valley in Chile and Tuscany, Italy. These are the best places for Cabernet Sauvignon and we will be tasting wines from all four of these regions. Bordeaux expert Robin Kelley O'Connor will join Kevin during this class.
