1980s Vintage Bordeaux Wine Tasting Including Lafite, Latour, Montrose, La Mission Haut Brion and more... Saturday, November 9, 2024 - 7:30 PM

“Drunkenness, she told us once in a rare moment of confidence, is a sin against the fruit, the tree, the wine itself.  It is an outrage, an abuse, just as rape is an abuse of the act of love.   She flushed then, turning away gruffly – Rene Claude, the oil and some basil, quickly! – but the thought stayed with me.    Wine, distilled and nurtured from bud into fruit and then through all the processes that make it what it is, deserves better than to be guzzled by some sot with a headful of nonsense.  It deserves reverence.  Joy.  Gentleness.”  Joanne Harris “Five Quarters of the Orange”

I drink two bottles a day and I am never drunk at the end of the night.  Hey I’m training for the Wine Drinking Olympics in LA 2028!    

And when I got a few bottles of some of the best wines from this great vintage I immediately set them aside for this tasting so we can continue our scientific work here at Wine Watch to see just how these wines are drinking today.  So to follow up our study in 1980’s vintage California wines I figured we should host a tasting of 1980’s vintage Bordeaux. 

If you invested in first growths from 1982 you would have paid around $50 per bottle for these wines upon release.  Today, we have the 1982 Chateau Haut Brion on the table at a price of $1095.  The 1982 vintage was one of the best investments that you could have ever made in the world of fine wine. 

The rest of the 1980’s were also very good to excellent for Bordeaux with 1983, 1985, 1986 and 1989 turning out the best wines but that is why we host these events!  We may find that the 1980 vintage wine is the best on the table, well Chateau Latour is great in almost any vintage.  The 1981 La Mission Haut Brion may be the wine of the vintage and the 1983 Lafite could take wine of the night!  That is why

Chef Toni Lampasone will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines and there are only 14 spaces available for this event.  The fee is $450 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.  Please let us know when you make your reservations if you have any dietary restrictions or aversions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you.
