Right Bank vs Left Bank: The Perennial Bordeaux Showdown

Perhaps the oldest frenemy feud in wine history? Come see what all the fuss is about. The Left Bank, Cabernet Sauvignon’s birthplace and stronghold, going toe to toe with the Right Bank, home to the world’s most profound Merlot expressions. Gravel vs Clay; the endless negotiation between the Muscular and the Voluptuous. Come join Joe Gurba of Vino al Vino Imports for a well-oiled investigation of this age-old question. Rive gauche ou rive droite, mes amis? — you be the judge!
