White Burgundy wine class by Dedalus Wine August 22, 2010

The vineyards of Burgundy are the grooves of the divine thumbprint. This enclave of rarefied beauty is home to the world’s greatest white wines.

What does it mean to be the greatest? It means these wines are everything you want them to be. Some are delicious, zippy drinking wines. Many are beautifully scented, complex wines of pure enjoyment. And a few of them are unearthy and iconic wines that demand meditation and pull us through space to the vineyards and through time to the harvest.

All the wines are fantastic, but the opportunity to taste a 1er Cru Puligny-Montrachet from the legendary estate of Comtesse Bernard de Cherisey is worth the price of admission on its own. The estate is being hailed as the next Coche-Dury, whose wines used to run around $55 - $60 a bottle and now regularly break the thousand-dollar mark. Sign up for this class and you'll get to say "I remember drinking Cherisey when their wines were a deal, now you have to mortgage your house for a bottle". You'll also get to taste some fantastic wines from Chablis, Nuits, and the Macon.

Sign up for this class today. Find out on August 22nd why so many wine lovers worship Burgundy.
