Cardiff - Wines of USA - Walkaround tasting
Join us for a walkaround tasting celebrating and exploring the wealth of wines the USA has to offer.
The USA boasts wine production in every state, but it can be argued that with over 800miles of coastline, California is the front runner with a huge variety of styles produced from easy everyday bottles to finer more complex offerings. Oregan is another key area of interest producing some elegant Burgundian styles in the cooler climate.
With over 30 wines on offer we’re thrilled to bring together a selection that celebrates and explores the breadth of wines produced by the USA.
