SUNDAY SCHOOL : A Gamay Soirée
Friday May 3rd, 2019 | 6pm - 8pm | $60
Join us at The Parlour at The Nightwood for a special Gamay class by our friends at Sunday School. Intimate and accessible, the evening will introduce you to the full range of Gamay’s temperaments — from fun and flirty to buttoned-up seriousness.
You’ll taste examples from both Oregon and the Old World that showcase the wine’s versatility and character. We’ll tell the story of Gamay’s spectacular rise, fall and rebirth, and you’ll also discover why the grape is now gathering a cult of devout followers in the Willamette Valley and beyond. A full flight of Gamay (including bubbles!) plus enchanting bites from The Nightwood included.
