FREE WINE TASTING IN BETHESDA TONIGHT

SAMPLE 4
FRENCH WINES,
LEARN FROM
THE EXPERTS

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

Enjoy a free French wine tasting tonight from 5:30-8:00 PM, at Capital Beer and Wine in downtown Bethesda.

Stepane Defot of Z Wine Gallery Imports will discuss and pour 4 wines, which will also be sold at a special discount, should you wish to buy after you try.

Two whites and two reds will be sampled:


Domaine de Laxe Blanc is from the Cotes de Gascon region of France.  With tropical, citrus, and grass flavors, it is perfect with chicken or seafood.

Domaine de Varoux Bourgogne Chardonnay comes to us from the Burgundy region.  This white has a more noticeable acidity, with notes of citrus and peach.  Try pairing this with lobster, grouper, flounder or cod.


Domaine Boudau Clot del Pila is from the Cotes du Rossillon region.  A blend of Syrah and Grenache, the dark fruit flavor and slight hint of pepper might be worth trying with sausage.

Chateau Fourcas Dupre is a product of Listrac.  If you like a suggestion of smoke and coffee with your dark fruit wine, this goes as well with burgers, steak and spaghetti as it does with a bachelor's can of beef stew.

Expand your wine knowledge tonight - for free! - at Capital Beer and Wine.

Capital Beer and Wine, 7903 Norfolk Avenue, Bethesda.

(Parking hint:  Try the small Lot 8 around the corner on St. Elmo, between Norfolk and Woodmont Avenues, if space is available)
