1990 Bordeaux VS 1990 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.

John Cleese





Or they simply can’t afford the good stuff…and you don’t have to be a billionaire to drink well at the Wine Watch we have great wines at every price point.

We have conducted a lot of tastings featuring 1990 vintage wines this year and to me this is a vintage that is drinking at its peak right now.  I thought it would be a good exercise to show some 1990 vintage California Bordeaux blends alongside of 1990 vintage Bordeaux to see how the “New World” wines are holding up to the wines of “Old World”.

This tasting will feature some top level wines from both California and Bordeaux all from the outstanding 1990 vintage.  Let’s call this a modern day 1976 Paris Tasting where blind French tasters picked their favorite wines and they turned out to be from California!   Just for fun we will be hosting this tasting blind to see if our “Wine Drinking People” come up with the same results.





The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $375 per person + tax.  To make reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. Please let us know when you make your reservation if you have any food allergies and Chef Toni will be glad to accommodate you.
