FEATURING THE “SURPRISINGLY GOOD” 2006 VINTAGE

 

Bordeaux fans are again in store for an exciting “first peek” of the new vintage.  This time it is the 2006s making their debut.  Fresh on the heels of the phenomenal 2005 vintage, Robert Parker reports that the 2006 vintage “appears to be a modern-day version of 1996 or 1986, [years that] in the best cases produced wines with impressive concentration.”  Parker’s conclusion:  “The 2006 vintage has produced many fine wines, and is a surprisingly good year for the finest terroirs.”

 

Our distinguished Guests of Honor will be Lilian Barton-Sartorius of Leoville and Langoa Barton, Jean-Charles Cazes, proprietor of Lynch-Bages, and Jean-Guillaume Prats, CEO of Cos d’Estournel.  Shutters Executive Chef Michael Reardon is presenting a magnificent five course dinner to match with a lineup of sensational wines.
