In recent decades, New World wine countries have increasingly challenged Burgundy. Pinot noir classics have emerged in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand that stand up to their Burgundian counterparts. Wine importer Tom Murray Willis, who specializes in New World wines, has selected exquisite pinot noirs from various regions and price ranges within these three wine countries for this tasting. Together with Minne’s wine expert, Master of Wine Essi Avellan, Tom will shed light on the characteristics of different regions and the philosophies behind the wines from different producers. This is a rare opportunity to taste wines from iconic estates such as Bass Phillip and Felton Road!
