We will be conducting another virtual tasting of Bordeaux wines a week from Friday. This event’s line-up includes white and rosé wines. It will be a great time to taste and tweet about some fantastic wines from the world famous region of Bordeaux.
PARTICIPATION
The tasting is open to anyone who would like to participate, and several of the winemakers, their importers/distributors/clients – the people who know these wines the best – will also be online to answer questions.
Here’s what you need to do:
