MONDIALE EVENT

Chers Confreres et Consoeurs,

 

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us for The California Wine Experience, a unique wine tasting event on Sunday, April 29, 2007 at the fabulous Dilworthtown Inn.  In the private and cozy confines of the their charming Inn Keepers Kitchen, we will witness first-hand Chef Aaron Wilson;s preparation of the well-matched dishes chosen to compliment the spectacular wines we will share that evening.  (You may remember that Chef Wilson won the Chalne's Dinner of the Year Award for this event last year so we know we are in the best of hands!)

 

Our reception will begin with a Domaine Carneros Brut, served with a selection of amazing appetizers.  Then, we venture to our tables in the kitchen area to enjoy six flights of outstanding wines with wonderful accompanying dishes.  To start the evening, we'll delight in a flight of DuMOL Chardonnays, the Chloe and the Isobel, from the 2004 vintage.  These wines meet with critical acclaim every year, and the 2004 vintage was particularly noteworthy.  They'll be served with a poached lobster dish.

 

Next, we'll enjoy a flight of Turley zinfandels, pairing the Estate Zinfandel with the Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel.  Helen Turley is widely regarded as California's best Zinfandel producer, and we're going to sample her best from the 2003 vintage.  Our Pinot Noir flight with match the 2003 W.H. Smith Maritime and Hellenthal pinots from the up-and-coming Sonoma Coast region.  Then come the California Merlots, the Pride Mountain and the Paul Hobbs Michael Black Vineyard in its final year of production.  These will be followed by an mini-vertical of Dominus Cabernets from the 1994 and 1996 vintages, two of their best vintages ever (the 1994 was given a score of 100 points by Robert Parker).  The Dominus cabs will be served with rack of lamb.

 

To cap off this splendid evening, we'll enjoy a warm apricot tart with our dessert wine, the impossible-to-find Sine Qua Non Mr. K The Nobleman, from the 2002 vintage.

 

This promises to be an extraordinary event and since seating will be limited to twenty-four, please reply early.  Whatever you do, don't miss it!

 

Vive La Chaine,

 

Paul Schulze, Event Chair
