Raj Parr and Jordan Mackay released their book The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste: A Discussion of Old World Wine in October 2018. It has been described as “the first definitive reference book to describe, region-by-region, how the great wines of Europe should taste.” It has become the go-to guide for aspiring sommeliers, wine aficionados looking to up their game, and amateur enthusiasts seeking a straight-forward and visceral way to understand and describe wine. In this seminal addition to the wine canon, noted experts Raj and Jordan share everything they’ve learned in their decades of tasting wine and exploring regions.

Join Raj, Jordan, and vintner Nicolas Potel, Domaine de Bellene, to taste wine, learn about the geography of wine regions, and how wines from various subregions, soils, and appellations should taste.

Each participant will take home a signed copy of Raj and Jordan’s book.
