"Tuesday Night Bordeaux"
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

 

Please join us after work on December 1st for an informal tasting of wines from one of the world's most lauded wine regions!

The concept behind "Tuesday Night Bordeaux" is to dispel the stereotype that good quality Bordeaux is expensive or should be opened only on special occasions. To illustrate, we'll be pouring around 20 Bordeaux, all of which retail for under $35 per bottle! These are wines that can be consumed young, but also have the right stuff for cellaring.

Guests in attendance will have the opportunity to chat about wine with superstar Bordeaux negociant Jeffrey Davies, one of the first Americans to graduate from the Institute of Oenology of Bordeaux, and proprietor of Signature Selections. There is virtually nothing about wine that Davies doesn't know and he possesses one of the most elevated palates in the world. Robert Parker says, "Davies represents a new breed of broker who realizes quality, not historic classification or pedigree, is most important. He works with small producers who believe in hand-harvesting and keeping quality high through low yields. . ."
- Robert Parker, May 21, 2007, Businessweek.com

Enjoy tasting through these wines along with a special selection of hors d'ouevres from acclaimed chef Roland Passot of San Francisco's Michelin-honored La Folie. Although the setting will be glam, the tasting will be a casual, walkaround format.
