Whether you are a hard core oenophile or just love to try different wines, there will be something for everyone.
Some of our selections will include Arnoux Lachaux Bourgogne Pinot Fin. This wine is made from 60+ year old pinot noir vines in Burgundy, France. It is considered one of the very finest examples of Bourgogne. Moving closer to home we will also have Failla Pinot Noir from California. Robert Parker describes this lovely Napa vineyard as producing “European-inspired wines that combine flavor, intensity and elegance."
In addition to copious amounts of wine and hors d’oeuvres, we will be making a contribution to our children’s wonderful school. What’s not to love about this combination? So come join us at our home for a night of merriment and lovely wines.
