Bordeaux in France, Piemonte in Italy, the Willamette Valley in Oregon--even the Old Mission & Leelanau Peninsulas--have some things in common: They are all situated about half-way between the Equator and the North Pole, on or near 45th Parallel. Additionally, they are cradle to some of the most celebrated wines in the world. Walk the line with Amanda as she guides you through a tasting of no fewer than eight wines of distinct pedigree. The discussion will center on the latitudinal significance of the 45th as it relates to viticultural areas, while addressing the other geographical, topographical, and climatic differences that make the wines of the highlighted regions truly unique unto themselves.
