Please join me, Spec’s fine wine buyer Bear Dalton, on Monday March 21st at 7pm for Madiran and Cahors. Discover the tastes of Tannat (newly popular wine from Uruguay but native to Madiran) and Malbec (wildly popular wine from Argentina but native to Cahors) as grown-and-produced on their home turf. We’ll discuss the varieties and their terroir along with the techniques used to make them and the food that is served with them. The twelve wines we’ll taste range in price from $10-to-over-$150. As always, cheese and bread will accompany the evening’s offerings.
