Wine & Climate Change: A Conversation and Wine Tasting

$30-50; preregister.
There’s no denying that global warming has affected nearly every facet of the natural world, but less discussed is its impact on the food and drink we enjoy. At Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, curious minds convene for Wine & Climate Change: A Conversation and Wine Tasting, featuring local vintners Deirdre Heekin and Caleb Barber in a candid chat with retired geologist David G. Howell. The experts unpack how rising temps have reshaped the winemaking map — so much so that our own Champlain Valley could soon become the next federally recognized wine region. Is that cause for celebration or pause?
