Symington Family Estates, Graham’s 1976 Single Harvest Tawny Port

All of the wines are directly ex-cellar, having rested where they were born until their recent first-class travels to New York. Pablo Alvarez, proprietor of Tempos Vega Sicilia, will join us as our special guest representing the members of the Primum Familiae Vini, who have collaborated with us on this evening. Together we will toast Jancis Robinson OBE MW’s fifty years in wine writing with the 1976 Tawny from Graham’s.

Attendees will receive a signed copy of the newly released The World Atlas of Wine, 9th edition.

The private reception and dinner with Jancis will take place on Sunday, October 11, starting at 6 pm, in the Whitman Ballroom at Manhatta, 28 Liberty Street, 60th Floor, New York. A portion of the proceeds from this dinner will go to support The POLG Foundation.

Due to limited quantities of these rare wines, this event is restricted to four tickets per customer.
