Continuing a line almost due south of Burgundy lie the
vineyards of the Rhône valley. This is an area of
contrast. In the North, some of the world's longest-lived
wines are produced: rare and aromatic whites; tannic
and massively structured reds. In the South, a veritable
sea of hearty everyday red is produced, but so too are
the famous and high quality wines of
Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, as well as sweet
wines of high quality.
The name Châteauneuf-du-Pape means "The Pope's
new castle", a reference to when nearby Avignon
became the home of the papal court in the 14th century.
No fewer than 13 grape varieties are permitted in
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is easily the leading wine
of the Southern Rhône.
Aroma Training
Using the educational and absolutely FUN tool Le Nez
du Vin © ("The Nose of Wine", 54 aromas) developed by
French wine professional & aficionado Jean Lenoir, you
will learn:
- how to recognize aromas... and simply develop your
sense of smell!
- how to classify them and make the difference between
aromas from the same category (fruits, flowers, spices...)
Blind Tasting
In the same time, you will also BLIND taste around 6
wines very representative of the Cotes du Rhone...
including some Viognier, Roussanne/Marsanne, Cotes
Roties, Gigondas, ChateauNeuf du Pape (the GREAT
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe)...
... and you will learn:
- how to taste wine
- how to detect grapes and specific wine areas based
on the aromas you are scenting... and that you learned
to recognize in the 1st exercise.
Register TODAY for this fun, learning & absolutely
interactive workshop... at the (very) classy and tempting
Miele Design Center in Beverly Hills...
... event limited to 20 attendees
