Format of YATS Wine Experience – YWE – Session

YATS Wine Cellars regularly hold non-commercial wine tasting to help wine enthusiasts expand their knowledge of wine in a most enjoyable and affordable way.  These tastings are different from other commercial tastings.  The wines from these tastings are not sponsored by a wine merchant and there are no salesmen.  You are in the company of people from all ages and all walks with one common interest – wine.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at a discount.  Each ticket comes with five tasting stubs.   The wines are lined up at a wine service station.  Present a ticket at this station to surrender the stubs to redeem a tasting pours (roughly 55-60ml per pour) of five wines on the line-up.

Someone will always be available to answer questions or discuss topics pertinent to the theme of the wines in the event.  Otherwise the event is a self-paced tasting exercise that is the most structured and economical way to sample interesting wines.

Wines of this YWE session

For this event, we re-visit some interesting and some up-and-coming wine regions in France.  Fine vintage wines are being discovered much to the (pleasant) surprise of the more adventurous wine enthusiasts who took the trouble to seek out new and exciting wine regions within the geographical areas commonly referred to as “the old world”.  For this particular Yats Wine Experience session, we visit these wine regions:

• Burgundy – Featured in this YWE session is the white wine of Burgundy that many wine lovers laud as the best rendition of Chardonnays in the world;

• Alsace – is deservedly revered for its lovely full-bodied white wine made from Riesling, Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer;  they are somewhat heavier than those of their German counterparts, dry and more intense

• Saint-Emilion – political turmoil leading to annulment of its recent re-classification didn’t dampen the market’s enthusiasm for wine from this Right-bank region of Bordeaux which houses legends like Cheval Blanc and Ausone

• Côtes du Rhone – ground zero for the so-called GSM Rhone Rangers,GSM referring to the fundamental Rhone cepage of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre

• Anjou in the Loire Valley is famous for its full-bodied Rosé made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grolleau which is absolutely delightful with all sorts of cold cuts
