Bastille Day Rosé Festival and Class: French Rosés Versus the Rest of the World July 14, 2009
Washington, District of Columbia 20036
Please join the GiraMondo Wine Team for a special Bastille Day Rosé Festival and live “La Vie en Rose”. Early birds to purchase tickets can take the 6:30pm class on rosé wines and discover how they are made and why a recent European directive potentially allowing blending red and white wines can lead to the next French Revolution.
At 7:00pm, the Festival will start and participants will get the opportunity to taste 15+ Rosés, of which 7 Rosés are from France (Tavel, Cotes de Provence, Bandol, Cotes du Rhone, Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Costieres de Nimes) opposed to 8 Rosés from all around the world (Napa, Sonoma, Italy, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Spain, Austria).
May the best wine win! Tasting is accompanied by light appetizers and French music to celebrate Bastille Day!
