The theme has been used before but we are taking it to the next level ... we are in the process of creating a special Vino 201 featuring Big Reds from around the planet.
I am not talking about the everyday wonders; I am talking about some of the most major players of the past few vintages including:
- 2002 Joseph Phelps Insignia (Wine Spectator's Wine fo the Year @ 96 points)
- 2001 Dominus (Napa Valley Blend @ 94 points in WE)
- 2002 Quintessa (Napa Valley Blend @ 94 points in WE)
- 2002 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (93 points WS)
- 2003 Brancaia Ilatraia (Super Tuscan from Italy @ 96 points)
- 2002 Rubicon Estate Rubicon (Formerly Niebaum-Coppola)
- Maybe a Bordeaux?
- Maybe a dessert wine?
We are thinking of doing the tasting on a Monday night and only allowing the first 12 guests who sign up to attend this special event (If the response is overwhelming we'll do a second version) ... Most likely we will be at $50/per person with very special discounts on the wines we taste. If you are interested in attending, let us know at the store (816.941.8466 or michael@eat-kc.com).
Have a great week and be sure to Drink Vino!
