Famous Red & White Blends from Around the World with Jay Youmans MW – In Person or Online

1 1/2 hours, $95

Some of the world’s most iconic wines aren’t made from a single grape — they’re crafted from carefully balanced blends that create complexity, harmony, and age-worthiness. In this global exploration, you’ll discover how and why winemakers blend grapes, and how different regions have developed signature blend styles.

Through a guided tasting, you’ll compare classic red blends such as Bordeaux and Rhône-inspired wines alongside renowned white blends from regions like Bordeaux, the Rhône Valley, and beyond.

Participants may choose to attend in person at the Capital Wine School or virtually on Zoom.
