Bordeaux means history, elegance, grandeur...and superb classic wines. This class explores the riches of the varied wines from this fabled region. That's why Richard Vayda, ICE's resident sommelier, has scoured the ICE cellar to put together a special tasting, covering multiple subregions and including Cru Classé wines. We'll discuss the area's history, geography, wine regulations and production, all while sipping these special samples --- accompanied by some fitting nibbles. We'll taste at least nine wines, plus matching cheeses.
