1982 Bordeaux Wine Tasting

"You know, the day you open a '61 Cheval Blanc … that's the special occasion."
Maya (advising Miles against being overly fussy about when he will drink a vintage Bordeaux wine he owns): Sideways

At Wine Watch we think that every day above ground is a special occasion that’s why we have so many “Once in Lifetime” tastings!

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 Lafite Rothschild for sale on this offering at a price of $2999.00.    The 1982 vintage was one of the best investments that you could have ever made in the world of fine wine and we are drinking some great wines tonight from 1982.  As I always say- “we are doing scientific work with wine here at the Wine Watch”.  This is considered by many to be one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux’s history and it made wine critic Robert Parker Jr. famous as he was one of the only people at that time that waxed poetic about the young wines. 

If you have these wines in your cellar today they are drinking at or near their peak and we will be opening eleven wines from the 1982 vintage tonight.  Many of the lesser wines are past their peak to day but the top wines are still drinking beautifully and we have an amazing selection of classified growth Bordeaux on the table tonight. 

The fee for this tasting is less than the price of several of the wines on the table tonight and there are only 14 spaces available.  Chefs Toni and Dani will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines and the fee for this event which includes dinner is $695 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
