An American (Brunch) in Paris

In home tasting event: Wines of Burgundy

So when I saw the Burgundy event listed, I thought not only would I love to participate, but what a great occasion would this be for our French group to learn about French wines.

As many already know, you just say the word “Wine” and I’m there!

Situated in the prestigious East Andrews community in Buckhead, Cellar 56 wine bar played host to a special tasting event appropriately called, Best Wines You’ve Never Heard Of. True indeed, wine consultant Lee LaRochelle, presented several lesser-known varietals including Godello from northwest Spain and a very nice blend consisting of Bonarda, a red grape originating from Piemonte, Italy, but is now primarily found in Argentina.
