Australia, Spain, and, of course, the United States. We will pick
out the best values, both red and white wines, that we can find. Join

Bordeaux
vs Meritage-Style Wines
|
| In 1981, the United States
began producing wines that were patterned after French Bordeaux wines
and these wines were given the name “meritage” (rhymes with
heritage). To use the term, the wines must be made from the same grapes
as in Bordeaux (a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc,
malbec, and petit verdot for the reds; sauvignon blanc, semillon and
muscadelle for the whites). We will taste wines from both Bordeaux
and the United States and try to determine which wine is from where.
We will do this as a “blind tasting,” with the wines “brown
bagged” to conceal their identities until we taste them. Join
us for not only an informative, but also a fun evening of wonderful
tastes. |

Eden Valley! What great wines from South Australia! This is Australia’s

us in the United States. It covers many climates and wine styles,
including some of the very best wines in that country, if not the
world. Come with us as we explore this fantastic region from “down
under.” |

| Wines
of South America |
 |
Speaking of wine values,
you cannot discuss that topic without mentioning the wines from South
America, specifically Chile and Argentina. We will include wines from
other South American countries if we can find them, but our main focus
will be on these two. We all know about the value wines from Chile,
but did you know that they also make wines that can compare with any
in the world? And some say that Argentina’s wines will rival,
if not surpass, Chile’s in the not-too-distant future. Join us
for this taste adventure! |

Wines of Washington
|
| Did you know that Washington
is the second largest premium wine producing state in the United States?
But more importantly, did you know that Washington’s reds made
from noble grapes such as cabernet sauvignon and merlot often rival,
even surpass, those produced in California? And that excellent whites
from chardonnay and Riesling are also produced there? Learn along
with us as we taste some of Washington’s most delicious wines.
