Cabernet Sauvignon vs. Cabernet Franc
On this night we will compare and discover the uniqueness of these two special grapes. We will taste four wines in this comparison, looking not only at differences coming from the grape itself, but also differences in style expressed in the Old World and the New World.
We will start out with a Rosé of Cabernet Franc from France, and then explore wines from NYS, California and France.
You will all be surprised by the depth and beautiful features of each of these examples.
We will discuss the original premises under which the grapes were used, along with how they have now been integrated into today’s wine world.
