Better than Bordeaux: Who Does It Best? Amanda Danielson
$29.00

Super premium wines made with the same variety of red grapes used in the Bordeaux region of France - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec - are being made by prestigious wineries in top winegrowing regions around the world including California, New Zealand, Italy, and Washington State. Obviously, big, structured and tannic red wines are immensely popular but why do these five grape varieties complement each other so well? Why are certain regions so perfectly suited to grow the grapes? And most importantly if you're a Bordeaux lover, what should you be drinking? Here's your opportunity to drink several spectacular Bordeaux blends hand selected by an expert. Amanda Danielson is the owner (with her husband) of Stella, northern Michigan's premier Italian restaurant. She is moments away from sitting for her Master Sommelier's Diploma Exam completing several years of Master Sommelier study.
