I was at Sherry-Lehmann Wine & Spirits today pouring wines for the advanced class on Red Wines of Bordeaux: Right Bank (St. Émilion & Pomerol) taught by Kevin Zraly & Robin Kelley O'Connor 🍷😎
The “banks” are a reference to the river banks that are on either side of the Gironde Estuary (River) of Bordeaux. We tasted the Right Bank wines today which are dominated by the Merlot grape. These wines are usually smoother & more elegant than the Cabernet Sauvignon dominant Left Bank wines. It was a pleasure to taste these! Always a hit!
