The Expert Series: The Joy of Muscat
Hosted by Demetri Walters MW & Sarah Jane Evans MW
Join Demetri Walters MW and Sarah Jane Evans MW for a celebration of Muscat, a very ancient grape that has a distinct personality. In all its forms, whether dry, sweet, or fortified sweet, Muscat is pungently aromatic and distinct. Known to the ancient Greeks, as well as other key winemaking cultures around the Mediterranean world, Muscat has endured for millennia, but is still not taken sufficiently seriously by those who aren’t so familiar with it. Be part of its renaissance with tasting various well known wine styles to illustrate the point, led expertly by Demetri.
