Drink Seminar: Drink Like a Somm: The Great Wine Myths

Event Description

Think you know wine? Think again. We've all heard the rules: Chardonnay is too oaky. Riesling is always sweet. 'Dry' (enough said). Screwcaps mean cheap wine. Red wine is served at room temperature. But how many of these "facts" are actually true? Join wine studs Chris Turyk and Ian Casterton as they put some of wine's biggest misconceptions to the test. Through side-by-side tasting, lively discussion, and a healthy dose of myth-busting, you'll discover why many assumptions we make about wine keep us from finding bottles we'll genuinely love. 

 

Presenter: Ian Casterton + Chris Turyk
