Did you know that Cabernet Franc is one of the parent grapes for other beloved (and more globally popular) red wine grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot? Were you aware that Cab Franc can range in flavor from pepper and plum to floral and flint? When was the last time you had a Cab Franc??

If your answers to these questions were "no", "no", and "more than a week ago"/"never?", then it's high time you joined us for a deep-dive into this underrated French grape! In this class, we'll learn all about Cabernet Franc and some of the primary regions that produce it, and we'll try five or six different versions of this wine from around the globe. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to expand your wine knowledge and palate!
