Rediscover Burgundy
Monday, February 8 I had a fantastic day tasting and talking about one of my favourite wine regions. Burgundy offers tremendous variety from really only 2 grapes, pinot noir and chardonnay. Although they seem to think they may have the exclusive on terroir, perhaps no better place exists to demonstrate this in wine.
This past Monday was a day I had been looking forward to for quite a while. The plan was spending a whole day tasting burgundies. From a 10am seminar/tasting, a walk around tasting from 12 till 5 and an interview with a Burgundian expert at 1, what's not to love?
The whole program was put on by Burgundy Wines (http://www.burgundy-wines.fr/ ) which incidentally is a great source for information about the region and its wine.
