The $25 Wine Class: Tasting the "Other" French Wines

Classroom

For our next installment of The $25 Wine Class, instructor Paul Brady will take you through some lesser-known wine regions in that behemoth of the wine world, France! The class will focus on three regions that are producing some of the most interesting wines around: the Loire Valley, the Languedoc-Roussillon, and the Rhone Valley.

Paul will discuss some of the events in France's long winemaking history that have given its wines their worldwide reputation and the unique characteristics of the wines of these three incredible wine regions. He’ll also talk you through tasting one wine from each of the three headlining regions.
