We are again going to try having our tasting on a Monday evening. Based on the strong response to the first time we did this, we are planning a three-bottle tasting and allowing up to 48 people to attend.
The Loire Valley is a large region that follows the longest river of France. With a cooler climate, the area is famous for its white wines. In France, the Loire Valley is second only to Champagne in producing sparkling wines. After a rose ice breaker from the Anjou region, we will start the tasting with two sparkling wines and then move on to the Chenin Blancs and Sauvignon Blancs of the Vouvray, Sancerre, and Pouilly-Fume regions.
The dominant red wine of the Loire Valley is Cabernet Franc that is spicy and herbaceous with distinct bell pepper notes. We will close out the tasting with two highly rated Cab Francs from the Middle Loire areas of Saumur and Bourgueil.
Menu
Will be a buffet including salad, pasta, salmon, chicken and dessert designed to complement the Loire Valley wines.
Remember to bring 2 wine glasses and wine to share.
This tasting is limited to 48 people.
