New World Sensations
3:00pm to 5:00pm
Remember the Austrian Blaufränkisch you tasted on Thursday? On Saturday, you can see how this lovely little red grape fares in the vineyards of the Pacific Northwest, as we pour this surprisingly popular "Blue Franc" from Washington State. In case you're a fan of the more established, tried-and-true American wines, we'll also be pouring a standout California Cabernet Sauvignon that day.
