Obscure and Delicious

Thursday, April 03, 2008

It's time to explore some lesser known grape varieties and off-the-beaten-path wine regions! Ever tasted a wine made from torrontés, jacquere or mencía? There are lots of tasty wines out there that you’ve never heard of! Impress your friends with your knowledge of the obscure and the delicious. We’ll serve some light snacks alongside.
