Which do you prefer – old world or new world wines? Do you even know the difference? That’s OK, if you don’t, as Grand Old House is presenting the opportunity to let your palate which it prefers.

According to Wine Folly, “Old World wine tends to have lighter body, lower alcohol, higher acidity, and less fruity flavor with more minerality. New World wine tends toward fuller body, high alcohol, lower acidity, and pronounced fruit flavours.”

Experience the tastes for yourself on Wednesday, 12 February at 5:45 pm.
