THIS CLASS IS BEING MOVED TO 3/17!!!!!
Difficulty Level: Deep Dive
Julia Burke Freytsis, DWSET, has been a Cabernet Franc lover since day one of her wine industry career nearly 20 years ago. For the very first time, she's leaning into the bias and putting her all-time favorite grape in the Flatiron Wine School spotlight with a killer lineup. Cab Franc often gets sidelined into Daniel Baldwin territory, when really it's the Stellan Skarsgård to Cabernet Sauvignon's Alexander, and it's time we talked about it.
We'll look at the ageworthy power of Cab Franc, its complex layers, and its beautiful structure, as well as its ability to express terroir around the world. If you love Cab Franc, this class is for you. And if you aren't yet convinced, Julia is up to the challenge.
We hope you can join us on Tuesday, March 3 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this special event.
Servin’s premier and grand cru wines are indeed outstanding — and outstanding values — and we’re happy to have the pick of the litter for you here today (which includes some very top wines). But the greatest value in Servin’s lineup of great values is undoubtedly one of his “village level” wines from Les Pargues.
You have probably heard the name Lucien Crochet. You may even have a bottle or two of their crisp, limestone-driven Sauvignon Blanc in your fridge. It is one of Sancerre's benchmark estates, synonymous with purity and precision. But if you visit the winery in the village of Bué, you will notice that many of the locals aren't drinking white wine. They are drinking the red.
