The growing of wine and its production is often approached in a very traditional way in the major European wine growing regions.
Many European wines are made from a blend of grape varieties, a process often steeped in tradition and guided by specific regulations for the region. In contrast, wines of emerging New World wine producers are often based on individual grape varietals or non-traditional combinations.
We learn about production, varieties, regions, tasting and advising customers on imported wines.
