The so-called “flying winemakers”, travelling back and forth between the hemispheres with the changing seasons, can apply their skills year round. Is this changing the world of wines? We will put this to the test by pitting five northern hemisphere Cabernet Sauvignons against five of their southern counterparts. The last flight will see a how a 2004 Dominus will stand up to the competitors. The Cabernet Sauvignons have been carefully selected from Vintages releases over the past 6 months and represent eight countries on five continents.
Not to leave the whites out, we will challenge two southern hemisphere Rieslings to see if they can match the elegance of two of their northern counterparts.

The National Capital Sommelier Guild strongly supports moderate and responsible consumption of wine and spirits. Guild dinner events allow a designated driver to attend at a reduced price. The designated driver will not be served alcohol. Guild tasting events provide and encourage the use of spit buckets.
