Dear all,Pleasure is said to be enhanced by knowledge. To describe the wine in depth is to prolong the cultural enjoyment of it, a product of humble agricultural origin. A glass of wine tells us its own unique story, represents a particular technique, recalls times past and reveals a process of trial and error inspired by one man’s genius. Art of tasting in contrast to the act of drinking teaches us how to put quality over quantity, and because it stimulates all senses – sound, sight, smell, taste and touch – it is an invitation to Hedonism.We are hence, happy to invite you to our wine tasting event, organized by Sara Feiz, one of our board members, on how to taste wine and recognize quality. During this event we will travel around France exploring and enjoying wines from different grape varieties, grown in different climates, that are some of the greatest expressions of these grapes in the world. At the same time, we will try to understand, formulate and communicate the messages from our taste buds in a systematic approach.We have hand-picked 8 wines from 4 different grape varieties for this night and will compare the wines from the same grape made in a cooler vs. a warmer climate, side by side, to understand better the impact of climate, soil, temperature, viticulture, etc. and how they translates into our tasting expressions.Sauvignon BlancSancerre - Paul Prieur et Fils Pessac Léognan - Châteaux CarbonnieuxChardonnay Chablis - Laurent TribusRully - Domaine De VillainePinot NoirChambolle Musigny - Domaine Boillot et FilsMercurey - Domaine de VillaineSyrahCote Rotie - Le Gallet Blanc - Francois VillardCrozes Hermitage - Alain GraillotThe wines will be served with cheese and charcuterie platters.  We hope to see you there!L’équipe HEC VINSSuivez nos actus : https://www.facebook.com/clubhec/Si vous avez séjourné dans une zone où circule activement le coronavirus, même si vous n’avez aucun symptôme, par mesure de précaution, nous vous demandons d’éviter de participer en présentiel aux événements d’HEC Alumni.  Il est de notre devoir de protéger tout le monde et en particulier les personnes fragiles dans notre communauté (femmes enceintes, malades chroniques, personnes âgées…).
