The wine world appears increasingly divided into two camps: those winemakers who jealously guard the styles of winemaking that define their region and those who strive to produce an international style that often belies the country or region of origin. This seminar adds an additional dimension to the discussion of "terroir" and whether the elements of "terroir" are enhanced more by the traditionalists or the modernists. What do these two fundamentally...
Brunello di Montalcino is a profound and exquisite wine made from the Sangiovese grape and produced around the small town of Montalcino in southern Tuscany. The Sangiovese grown, as Brunello in Montalcino is not a separate clone as once thought, in fact as many as six different clones of Sangiovese have been identified in Montalcino. Only in Brunello di Montalcino must the DOCG wine be made entirely from Sangiovese. The finest Brunellos can...

RESOBOX @ 41-26 27th St, Long Island City, NY
Have you ever tried sake and cheese together? It sounds weird, but they actually go well together, just like wine and cheese. Sake is one of the ideal drinks that go well with many kinds of dishes because it contains the umami, such as amino acids. The most appealing thing about pairing sake with various foods is that the flavor of the sake changes depending on the dish you’re eating. Even while consuming the same sake, the flavor shows a totally...

Join us as we explore the different taste profiles that Spain can express, as we learn about...
NYC Wine Company @ 330 W 11th St, New York, NY
Both grow Cabernet Sauvignon, both are fiercely loyal to their region, and both create intense, complex, long-lived wines. Yet they are not the same. Bordeaux, with its centuries of history and ornate chateaux, claims restraint and finesse as well as power, yet by a judicious hand. The wines of Pauillac, Margaux, Graves, St Julien, Pomerol, St Emilion and St Estèphe are all possible appearances. As for Napa, they too have a rich history, yet it...

1996 was a stellar vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux. Temperatures in June and July were above average, however the beginning of August was unusually cool which retained acidity. Then three weeks of warm, dry sunny weather came in to fully ripen the grapes. The result was exceptionally pure Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1996’s have fantastic length, depth of flavor and great finesse. These are classic left bank wines: muscular, and densely packed...

The Dillon family purchased Haut Brion in 1935, making it the only First Growth owned by an American family. Jean-Philippe Delmas, son...
