September Wine Tasting – Cabernet Sauvignon
Old World v. New World
Wednesday, September 9, 2020 7 p.m. EST / 5 p.m. MST
Our Cabernet Sauvignon wine tasting for the September Wine Tasting will examine four wines from all corners of the earth. During our session, you will taste the differences that climate and winemaking techniques have on the same grape. By the end of our tasting you will be able to tell an “Old World” from a “New World” wine without seeing the label. By the end of this session, you should be able to say which ‘world’ you prefer.
