The Loire is France’s longest river, and also home to a large and varied wine making region. Crisp sparklers, mineral-driven whites, refreshing rosés and fruity reds, with choices from dry to sweet; this northern region seems to have it all! This tasting, led by Richard Vayda, ICE's resident sommelier, reviews some of the classic and essential wines of this ancient winemaking region. Discussions will include French wine regulations and labeling, as well as a taste of some regional cheeses, tastily illustrating the culinary adage: "What grows together, goes together"! The class will sample at least nine wines.
