USA Masterclass

The American wine revolution is upon us…

Most wine aficionados are familiar with the Cabernet Sauvignon of Napa Valley and the Pinot Noir of Oregon’s Willamette Valley; however, though fewer have experienced a Tempranillo from Texas or a Riesling from Idaho, that is certainly changing.

America has reached a new age in wine production, and with wine being produced in all 50 states, the U.S. is joining the ranks of countries celebrated for offering a fresh take on the vinous experience.

Our Head Sommelier, Terry Kandylis has chosen a collection of wines to taste, as he guides Members through a Masterclass of this rising wine-producing country.
