Deluxe Wine Class - Bordeaux:

The Start of the Blend Trend - 12/6

 

For those of us who love bold, rich red wines that can age for decades, Bordeaux is the center of the wine world. Homeland to some of the most popular red grapes in the world, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and even Malbec, Bordeaux has been at the front of the red wine scene for centuries!

Deluxe Reserve - The Best of France:

From Grand Crus to First Growths - 12/13

 

You requested it, so we're finally doing it. That's right, at this wine class we will be breaking into some of our finest wines at Josephine including First Growth Bordeaux's and Grand Cru Burgundies! If you take a look at our wine list at Josephine, you'll notice some wines that we would call collector items. These are wines that are sold at auctions for hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars. It's not every day we get to open these wines, but it's the holiday season, and we are ready to share some of this prestige!

Deluxe Wine Class - Champagne:
