Blends vs. Bordeaux Wine Dinner
October 24, 2008
Pappas Bros. is pleased to present a unique opportunity to visit with two Master Sommeliers - out of only three Master Sommeliers in the entire state of Texas. The richness and complexity of the great wines of Bordeaux have long been admired and emulated by New World winemakers. Pappas Bros.’ Blends vs. Bordeaux wine dinner will highlight fine producers from both France and the rest of the wine producing world, demonstrating why, after hundreds of years, this style is still the world’s favorite.
