World Wine Tour tonight

Five places on five different continents putting out amazing wine. Each with its own idiosyncrasies. That's the point behind the third World Wine Tour in Kansas City, which features nearly every wine-producing area on the globe.

The event allows non-wine-experts one night of access to a library of wines -- chardonnay from all of the above-mentioned regions and others, for example. Or sangiovese -- it's known as the grape of Italian wine, but Argentina and Australia have formidable sangiovese crops that don't get much publicity. By comparing the Italian original to its imitators, you may find you like the non-Italian (and much cheaper) sangiovese more.

The World Wine Tour features more than 300 wines along with 801 Chophouse light appetizers that hopefully won't overwhelm the drinking experience. The last wine-tasting I attended that showcased this many wines was The Jefferson Cup and that event is closed to the public. So if you care about wine at all, take advantage of this unique opportunity.
