The next in the series of serious tastings created by wine enthusiast Jack Brice.

How many times have your heard some self-important-enthusiast-know-it-all spout comments about “old world” or “new world” wine characteristics?    Well – it isn’t THAT complicated… so let’s get together and learn about the beautiful differences!

Join us to learn about “Old-World” and “New-World” wines, with direct comparisons of grape, price and style!   This will be a tasty way to learn with food provided by Chef Kate Romane and her crew at e2.   Hope you can join us!

• What are the key differences?
• Why does it matter?
• What vintages should we look for?
• What vintages should we run away from?
