South American Reds: Malbec and Carmenere

About this class

South America produces some of the world's most food-friendly red wines, and this tasting focuses on Argentine Malbec and Chilean Carmenere side by side across three examples each. You work through how altitude, climate, and winemaking choices shape each grape, and why both styles tend to over-deliver at their price points. The sommelier explains which regions to look for and how to spot underpriced bottles at the shop.
