WINE TASTING EVENTS Highlight Outstanding Regions Far and Wide

Members of the press and wine trade have had the exceptional opportunity to explore wine regions at gatherings and grand tastings throughout the New York metro area. In the past year, Broadwayworld Food and Wine has attended many of them and we were very impressed by the quality and selection of wines we sampled from around the globe. We have included web sites for the organizers so you can learn about these fascinating regions, discover their wines, and connect on social media.

Wines of Bordeaux - It's a pleasure to sample Bordeaux wines that are accessible and pair easily with a wide variety of food. The region encompasses 275 acres of vines and a total of 65 appellations exist with the region. The moderate growing climate produces all styles of wine, red, dry white, semi-sweet and sweet wine, rose, clairet, and sparkling. Vins de Bordeaux has been a partner since 2015 of the popular festival, Harlem EatUp!, that occurs annually in May. Visit: https://www.bordeaux.com/us/.
