Great Grower Champagnes
Arnaud’s

Noel Coward was once asked why he drinks Champagne for
breakfast. His response: “Doesn’t everyone?” Start

it is the smaller growers who are crafting some of the
most elegant and distinct wines of the region. Taste
some of the best.

The Art of the Blend
Arnaud’s
Restaurant, The Counts Room
Blending is often described as winemaker’s art.
Like a symphony conductor, a winemaker brings together
the five major Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec) in a
harmonious and integrated way. The resulting wine is
often rich and layered with amazing complexity and depth.
Now it’s your turn! Join Dry Creek Vineyard as
you hone your blending skills, just like a winemaker.
Take equal parts of each component to make the best blend
possible. Don’t miss an exciting opportunity to
learn the art of blending!

Vineyards
Moderated by: Ziggy Eschliman, “The Wine Gal”
