Join us for a Bordeaux Retrospect Wine Dinner, which promises an unforgettable journey through one of France’s most prestigious wine regions. We will taste and compare a variety of vintages, regions, and producers, deepening our appreciation for the nuances of Bordeaux wines. Our special guest, Baptiste Puyo, Bordeaux Grands Crus Classes Brand Ambassador (see more in his bio below) will enrich our exploration by sharing the rich history of Bordeaux. Savor the rich, complex flavors of Bordeaux wines carefully selected by Chef Rik, each glass a testament to centuries-old vineyards and masterful craftsmanship, all perfectly paired with a 5-course menu.
Additionally, we are offering special retail opportunities, including selections from other Chateaux and vintages and a presale on the highly anticipated 2023 vintage. This “futures” buy allows you to secure these wines at over 20% less than their expected cost upon arrival in the US next spring. This exclusive event is not to be missed, so reserve your spot today!
