In our April 10th tasting we have an unusual chance to focus on the origins of a few of the flavours that can predominate in specific wines. John Manley will present exemplary wines, aiming to shine a light on the molecular causes of the flavours present. He is one of a very few experts in this area.

This month we are able to have an unusual chance to focus on the origins of a few of the flavours that can predominate in specific wines: Lychee & Gewürztraminer, Iodine, Vin Jaune, Carbonic Maceration, and Calories
