Tradition vs. Innovation. Which will prevail? You be the judge!

Instructor: Tria Wine Director, Lauren Harris

Old World wines, originating from traditional European regions, often prioritize expressing terroir (the distinct influence of a vineyard's geography, climate, and soil on the wine) and exhibit subtlety with strict regulations, while New World wines, from non-European regions, embrace innovation, feature fruit-forward profiles, and have fewer regulatory constraints, allowing for greater winemaking flexibility. Caveat: these differences are becoming increasingly blurred, so be careful of generalizations.

The Triaverse loves both wine worlds, so long as the wines are fabulous. Enough about us, what about you? Whether you have a strong opinon or none at all, this guided blind tasting will be reveletory, suspenseful and fun. You will blind taste four pairs of wine (eight wines total) of a classic European example compared it to a more modern approach to that same grape. We'll compare, contrast, and vote on our favorites. (Guaranteed to be the least stressful voting all year!)
