Date/Time:
Tuesday, March 18
7:00 pm.
Overview:
Join us for a discussion and wine tasting as we explore the connections between global climate change and the world of wine.
Is your favorite chardonnay or pinot noir eco-friendly? Does that coveted bottle have a carbon footprint? What does global warming mean for the history and culture of winemaking around the world? And how will it affect you?
Find out these answers and more as our panelists present three distinct but intertwined viewpoints on this brave new frontier in the world of wine.
Wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres will be provided!
A special thanks to Michael Skurnik Wines for their generous donation.
