Discovering South America Seminar

Spend a fascinating Friday evening expanding your knowledge of the world of wine as you sip along with sommelier Erik Segelbaum. This immersive program includes a curated personal tasting kit to enhance the experience. South America boasts some of the world's best vineyard locations. Explore wines made on both sides of the Andes and how this massive mountain range is repsonsible for a diverse stylistic influence on the coastal west in Chile and the inland east in Argentina. You might even discover a new favorite among critically acclaimed vintages produced in wine regions you never knew existed, such as Uruguay and Bolivia. Note: This program includes a wine tasting kit as part of its ticket price that must be picked up from a local Washington, DC wine bar. The kit will include enough wine for one person to sample the full lineup of wines. Additional participants must register individually to receive their own tasting kit, which is an essential component of the workshop. $75 for non-members, $65 for members. Kits are available during two scheduled pick-up times the day before the program (September 16th) and the day of the program (September 17th), between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m. Pick up is at The Eastern wine bar in the Capital Hill neighborhood. The seminar will be live and online 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. ET. For more information or to register, please click here.
