ABOUT ABOUT

Drink from the Wide World of Grapes!

Have fun exploring different grapes?  So do we!  And, we LOVE Petit Verdot.

Petit Verdot is often used in Bordeaux-blend wines, along with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.  But, it is much more rarely used on its own. What a shame! Petit Verdot produces dark, inky, fragrant wines that are redolent of violets, black berries, plums, royalty, and all things purple.  

We'll taste 5 different wines from 5 different terroir to really get a feel for the grape's distinctive qualities. Do you like Petit Verdot? Try these and see!

Join us for:  

  • La Corsa Petit Verdot 2013, Italy
  • Glen Carlou Petit Verdot Tannat 2009, South Africa
