2007 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tasting Invitation

 
(I’m dreaming aboutattending this.  Of course in my dream Robert Parker is there.  Andwhile I’m at it so is Gary Vanerchuk, Anthony Dias Blue and NatalieMacLean.  And they’re sitting with me sharing the most outstanding wineever.  And I’m the only one not using a spittoon.  Of course.)

The Big Blind: An Historic Tasting of 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Unless you’ve been on a desert island this past year, you’ve likely heard about the historic 2007 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. After the world’s most influential wine critic, Robert Parker, made the bold statement of calling it “the greatest vintage EVER from ANYWHERE”, there’s been a feeding frenzy…the likes of which we’ve never seen.

At long last, most of the wines have now arrived, so what better to do than open a cross section of the highest rated wines to see what the hype is all about. By popular demand, all wines (15 in total) will be poured blind in order to avoid any preconceived biases. Voting will take place afterward and attendees will have the opportunity to purchase all wines tasted at special pricing.

Seating is limited, so we expect this event to sell out quickly.
