Description
Pair with Kevin Zraly's Advanced Wine Class: The World of Pinot Noir
Monday, November 20, 2023 7:00 p.m. -8:30 p.m. EST
Kevin’s life changed after his first taste of a French Burgundy. He was 20 years old when a customer (and now close friend) at the restaurant where he worked gave him a glass of a 1945 Grand Cru Burgundy. From that point on, wine became his passion and livelihood.
Outside of Burgundy, this grape makes spectacular wine in the rugged coastline of South Africa and the cool climates of California, especially in Sonoma. It is also the most planted varietal in Champagne. Robin Kelley O'Connor will join Kevin during this class.
