| Saturday, January 31st 2-5pm at The Museum of Flying at Santa Monica Airport, 3100 Airport Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90405 The Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGC) is visiting Los Angeles to promote the excellent soon-to-be-released 2012 vintage. The Union is an affiliation of the best Bordeaux producers from all of the major Bordeaux growing regions. More than 95 châteaux will attend and winemakers and owners will pour over 100 wines from the 2012 vintage. This is the largest Bordeaux tasting in the United States. After three sold out years at the Hyatt Century Plaza, this tasting is on pace for record-breaking attendance with its return to Santa Monica Airport where the event was last held in 2011. Taking place in The Museum of Flying, guests will be able to take in vintage aircraft and aviation memorabilia while sampling world class wines. 100% of the net proceeds from the tasting will benefit Food on Foot, a nonprofit organization providing the poor and homeless of Los Angeles with meals, clothing and assistance in the transition to employment and life off the streets. Tickets are $69 per person in advance, $100 at the door. This event will surely sell out! THE 2012 BORDEAUX VINTAGE We firmly believe that 2012 is the best value vintage since 2008. Just a few years ago it seemed as if pricing would never return to pre-2009 levels, but here we are today with most chateaux offering sharp values that have returned to the accessibility of years past. Best of all there is no shortage of quality in 2012…the vintage is full of top notch wines with some truly exceptional efforts coming from Margaux, Pessac-Leognan, Saint Emilion and Pomerol. Tickets for the Los Angeles event can be purchased at Wally’s Wine & Spirits, www.wallywine.com, or call 310-475-0606. Members of the UGC scheduled to attend: |
