Spain Vs. France: The Wine Tasting Class

We are pitting two great wine countries against each other in this wine-tasting class. It’s Spain versus France in a battle of the vines! And it will be delicious mayhem: Bordeaux versus Rioja, Châteauneuf-du-Pape versus Priorat, and so much more. It will be an all-out wine war, and it’s your chance to play peacekeeper. Which side wins will be up to you. Previous Tasting Sheets for Spain Vs. France July 2025 First Flight 1. Karine Lauverjat 2017 Pouilly-Fumé (Sancerre) 2.
