Old World Wine - Talk about history!

Did you know Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec all hail from the region of Bordeaux, France? And Burgundy, whoa, the most famous home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 

Significant French wine regions include: 

• Burgundy (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay)
• Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sémillion)
• Champagne
• Alsace (Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gerwuztraminer)
• Rhone Valley (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Viognier)
• Loire Valley (Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc)
• Provence (Rosés)

Italy is home to over 3,000 old world grape varieties, so let's get busy!

Ever had a Rioja? Or a Cava?  

Rioja is a dry red wine with the best made predominantly from the Tempranillo grape.  

Cava is Spain's sparkling wine made in the méthode traditionelle style, in other words, the same method used in Champagne.  

Spain also makes wonderful wines from Garnacha (Grenache) and Albariño.  Oh, if you didn't know, Sherry is also made in Spain.
