• Saturday, July 13 // 12pm - Topic: Chocolate and Wine Pairing
Some say that wine-tasting is about 85% smell and 15% taste. It's the opposite with chocolate-tasting, 85% taste and 15% smell. Like other food and beverage pairings, chocolate and wine pairing comes down to your palate and how you distinguish flavors.
Come join us for an adventure in pairing where we will explore the flavors, subtle nuances and characteristics of several different wines and chocolates and join in a discussion why they do, or do not, pair well with each other.
• Saturday, July 13 // 3pm - Topic: Great Summer Wines for Any Occasion
Conventional thinking would draw us towards crisp, fresh white wines but that isn't your only choice during the hot summer days. From burgers and brats to a veggie tray there are other options that can make your dining experience one to remember!
Join us and taste some Reds, rose' and white wines and learn some secrets to pairing them for your next summer picnic or back yard BBQ.
• Sunday, July 14 // 11am - Topic: Champagne on a Sunday Morn
From Limoux to Reims- an exploration into the various styles, methods and regions of sparkling wines from France. We will discover where the first sparkling wines were produced, which grape varieties are commonly used and all the viticulture/production practices. There's no better way to start your Sunday morning in the mountains.
• Sunday, July 14 // 2pm - Topic: Give Me a Home Where the Buffalo Rhone!
Yes Chateauneuf du Pape is the most famous region of the Rhone Valley but there is so much more to this great wine producing region. Often unknown and misunderstood the Rhone Valley creates the world's best Syrah.
Come taste some amazing red wines, but learn about the world class white wines produced there as well. Famous for the Syrah from the Northern Rhone, and blended reds from the south. Whites focus on Viognier in the north and blended whites in the south. Come taste and learn about all the regions of the Rhone.
