September Sunday School: The Wines of Corsica
Sunday September 8th, 4:00-6:00 pm
We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming Sunday School event at Idlewild Wines, where we will explore the unique and captivating wines of Corsica. Corsica, often referred to as the “Island of Beauty,” is not only renowned for its stunning landscapes but also for its remarkable wines. Nestled in the Mediterranean, this French island has a rich history of winemaking that dates back over 2,500 years, influenced by a blend of Italian and French viticulture traditions. During this event, we will take you on a journey through the island’s vineyards, exploring the diverse grape varieties and unique terroirs that make Corsican wines so special. You will have the opportunity to taste and enjoy a curated selection of wines and Corsican foods, each with its distinct character and story.

October Sunday School: Celebrating Loire Diversity with the Wines of Côme Isambert
Sunday October 13th, 4:00-6:00 pm
Côme Isambert is a small winery that started up in Saumur in 2013. After 12 years in the wine and organic sectors, Côme decided to launch his own domaine and produce high-quality wines, less than 6,000 bottles a year. His philosophy is to produce wines and ciders that reflect the diversity and richness of the Loire Valley terroirs, and to showcase the complementarity of grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau Noir, Grolleau Gris and Gamay through different cuvées, while making a point of respecting the natural winemaking process and the diversity of natural environments. Côme’s winemaking ability, in combination with the chalky and schist terroirs of Saumur, leads to wines that are a perfect representation of the outstanding potential and diversity that can be found in the Loire Valley! In a word, these are STUNNING wines; do not miss this very special event.
