"Spent my days with a woman unkind,

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.

Made up my mind to make a new start,

Going to california with an aching in my heart."

 

Going to California by Led Zeppelin


 

This is a rare opportunity to study a group of wines from an outstanding vintage from Bordeaux that turn 40 this year.  That’s right I’m talking about all you 1986 vintage people out there as well, at 40 years old you are at your peak and as a bottle of classified growth Bordeaux from a GREAT vintage you are also at your peak.


 

Every year we try to give our “Wine Drinking People” an opportunity to sample wines from their birthyear and 40 is a big one for most people.  I think that most people still consider themselves on the young side at 40 years of age but for wines it can be a much different thing as many have seen better days unless they are the top wines and that vintage just happened to be a gift from mother nature.


 

The 1986 vintage in Bordeaux produced wines of incredible depth and structure.  The critics scored the wines high and we have few 100 Point wines on the table as well as 3 of the 5 first growths of the left bank.  All of which cost more than the price of admission to taste these 11 Bordeaux wines on the table tonight and this includes dinner!!


 

The fee to taste all these 40 year-old Bordeaux which also includes dinner is $595 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com
