 Join “Dr. Vino”, Tyler Colman to learn the latest on organic, biodynamic and sustainable practices and taste Loire Valley Wines made from this type of viticulture. Next, discover the carbon footprint of wine and alternative packaging. Then taste wine in both a box and a bottle from Cotes du Rhone to determine if you can tell the difference.
Tyler teaches wine classes at New York University and the University of Chicago. He contributed to the third edition of The Oxford Companion to Wine and his articles have appeared in Food & Wine and Wine & Spirits. www.drvino.com.
