Lesser Known Wines - Varietals and Regions

FIELD TRIP There are so many wines in the world that we will never try them all: but sometimes it is good to get off the beaten path and try new and lesser-known things. Join us as we explore wine regions and wine varietals that are often less popular, but still produce delicious wines and often great values. Fees are non-refundable unless we are able to fill the slot.
