Recorded Presentation
Barb Brazon
Ever wonder, “what’s up with this Vintage versus Blended wines – is one really better than the other?” Did you ever ask yourself, what the difference is between old world style wines and new world wines? Finally the one that sticks in everyone’s craw, “why can’t I drink red wines with seafood,” and “why is it so wrong to drink a white wine with red meat.” Are these statements true and are the rules valid? Join me for a little peek into the thoughts of a wine geek and get some help with planning beverages for upcoming events.
