Description

Cabernet Sauvignon has been the dominating wine grape in California since Robert Mondavi championed the varietal starting in the 1960s. With Napa Valley labeled as the king of Cabernet, dive into the historical background of Cabernet Sauvignon’s origins and which producers were some of the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon outside of Napa Valley. From Lodi, to Paso, to Sonoma and beyond, join LangeTwins Family Winery, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, and Rodney Strong Vineyards to learn and taste through their regional expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon over a discussion about what the future holds for this ever-evolving variety. Tonya will also present the wines in the context of what Cabernet Sauvignon from other regions can offer in terms of quality for value and diversity of the varietal for restaurant lists and retail programs.
