Masterclass for the
Off Trade 11.00-12.00 p.m.
Title:
“Retailing Rhône and
why to go off the beaten track”
Our tasting takes a look at some of the Rhône‘s smaller less well known southern
AOP’s including Rasteau, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. We will explore Côtes du Rhône and the rise in popularity of lighter
red wine styles and of course, we will look at white wine styles from the
Rhône. The tasting will highlight
current consumer trends and why the Southern Rhône is such an important
category for Irish retailers.
Masterclass for the
Restaurant Trade 03.30-04.30 p.m.
Title: “Rhône
wine regions take another look”
We will explore and the rise in popularity of lighter red wine Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône villages and will look at why they are such a good fit with a broad range of menu styles. We take a look at current consumer trends and why it’s worth going off the beaten track with some of the Rhône’s less well known appellations. We know that when dining out for a special occasion, such as an anniversary dinner, when the Irish consumer trades up it is usually with a French wine. Rhône offers great value and punch way above their weight in terms of price/quality and margin. Our restaurant masterclass will highlight some of the key wines currently available and will also look at white wine styles from the Rhône.
