Flatiron Wine School: Blind Tasting: New World Meets Old World
From venue:
"If we dropped you in an entirely different part of the world to make wine, what's the one aspect of your winemaking that would stand out the most?" Julia loves asking winemakers this question. As Flatiron's New World Buyer, she faces a constant struggle against the overuse of Old World comparisons like Oregon and Burgundy, or the Finger Lakes and the Mosel.
But there's one aspect of the New World-Old World dichotomy that seems woefully under-discussed: What happens when Old World winemakers come to the New World, and vice versa? How do their cultural backgrounds, winemaking philosophies and approaches to terroir translate in their second homes? We have some fascinating ways to find out: Burgundian projects in Oregon, Bordelais projects in South Africa and Spanish projects in Chile are just some of the examples of Old World producers finding commonality in New World sites.
This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, April 30 and run for approximately 90 minutes. Wines tasted in class will be available for purchase with a discount available to attendees only. Seating is limited.
