After Hours 3/20: With Winemaker Hervé Villemade
Date: Thursday, March 20
Time: 6-7:30pm
For many of you who frequent our little shop, Hervé Villemade needs no introduction. His beautiful wines from Cheverny and Cour Cheverny have been an integral feature on our shelves since day one. Of the generation of natural wine makers who were first finding an audience in the States at the turn of the century, Hervé produces some of our (and our customers’) most beloved wines, year in and year out.
His estate feels like a wonderland where, at any moment, a party or festival could break out - the cellar and chais are endowed with the kind of vibrancy usually reserved for a rave - but hard work is going on there. Fastidiously organic, and with a native son’s knowledge of his myriad terroirs, Hervé has carved out a sustainable enterprise in the face of frosts and other climate calamity.
We are so very excited to welcome Hervé back to M&L to taste with you all and share insights and stories about his work.
This is a private tasting to allow guests time to ask questions and engage with the group. All tasting wines will be offered at 10% discount if you want to grab any bottles to take home!
Cancellation Policy: Due to the small gathering size, tickets are non-refundable but feel free to give your ticket to a friend if you can’t make it.
In the Event of Weather: In the event of inclement weather and travel is deemed unsafe, there will not be a make up date for this event as Hervé is just passing through Portland. You will have the option for full credit to Maine & Loire or refund minus the 4% credit cards fees.
