We’ve inventoried our cellars and are pleased to announce that we have some exceptional Rhône wines we want to share with you for our first “Pop-Up Tasting and Dinner Experience”, Thursday January 14th, 2021 at 6pm. This will be our last special event before hibernation till early spring, so be sure to sign up early – seating is limited.
You will be greeted with hors d'oeuvres and a glass of sparkling Crémant d'Alsace. Then before dinner we will present a guided tasting of three excellent wines from the Northern Rhône Valley in France, a Côte Rôtie, a Cornas and an Hermitage. Our sommelier, Alex Bardsley, will introduce the wines, discussing the wonderful qualities of the Rhone Valley. The guided tasting will be followed by an exceptional Rhone Valley-inspired dinner created by Chef Jacques and his team, accompanied by two wines from the Southern Rhône Valley, a Vacqueyras Blanc and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Seating is very limited to allow for social distancing and to let you enjoy a relaxing and delectable five-course Rhône Valley-themed repast. See you there – please remember to sign up early, as this is the last special event before we go on hiatus, to return in early spring to new beginnings!
