This tasting kit includes a selection of six unique wines—two white, two red, and two rosé wines, each in 100ml sample-size portions—plus tasting notes, pairing suggestions and a sommelier-led virtual tasting video. With this kit, new and seasoned wine drinkers are introduced to Spanish wines like Clot d'Encis with flavors of honey and lemon, and Petite Sirah from California with aromatic notes of boysenberry pie and wild huckleberry.
