Join us for a wine class where we will discuss the wildly diverse grape Syrah while tasting six wines made from the grape around the world!

Native to the steep cool hillsides of the Northern Rhône Valley, the Syrah grape makes some of the most prestigious and elegant red wines in the world. The popularity of these French wines has led to many winemakers in the New World planting Syrah in varying climates and soils, resulting in a huge range of Syrah. The Syrah wines coming out of Australia are so rich and meaty, they are their own beasts, called Shiraz!

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will go over the all that affects the wine characteristics of a Syrah or Shiraz at Planet Wine while sipping six Syrah wines from around the world that represent the range of this wildly popular grape.

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with certified sommelier and Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley CSW
  • Tasting of six fine wines made from Syrah
  • Small serving of cheese to accompany your tasting
