Please join the Finger Lakes Chapter of Women For WineSense and outgoing National President, Donna Schlosser-Long, as she takes us on a tour of California Red Wines. We will focus on 5 Californian varietal wines: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel, plus a Red Blend! Let's taste our way through Old and New World-styles of wine that put California on the map as world class wine making region. You will get a taste of some popular wines, as well as hidden gems that you are sure to love! California wines have captivated the media from the Judgement of Paris in 1978, to Bottle Shock, to Sideways... and Donna will share with you all the important things you need to know. Come share a taste of wine, a story, (or twelve) and lots of laughs with Donna as she shares her passion of all-things wine!
