Discover the depth, versatility and unmistakable charm of Merlot during a guided tasting with wine educator Scott Hampton.
From soft, fruit-forward expressions to structured, age-worthy wines, Merlot can take on remarkably different personalities depending on where it is grown and how it is made. Guests will taste a thoughtfully selected international lineup showcasing the grape’s range while exploring its classic aromas, flavors, regional differences and winemaking styles.
Scott will also discuss Merlot’s important role in Bordeaux blends, why the grape thrives in regions around the world and how to confidently select and pair Merlot beyond the familiar bottles on store shelves.
Whether you already love Merlot or are ready to rediscover this often-underestimated grape, this approachable and educational class offers a delicious new appreciation for one of the world’s most celebrated red varieties.
