The Wines of Southern France
Time
18:30
Place
Quality Inn & Conference Centre
424 Gregoire Drive
Fort McMurray,
Alberta
The south of France has the benefit of a steady, predictable climate with lots of sunshine and warm weather.
This makes for high yields and predictable quality in grapes throughout the region.
Abundance and the thought that vines need to suffer to produce great wine have led to the belief that there aren’t great wines that come from southern France. That just isn’t true.
This gives us the occasion to try some of the excellent wines of southern France and some really great French food. We are pleased to invite you to the Quality Inn on August 17th for a “The Wines of Southern France”.
