La Commanderie’s first event of 2010 starts off with a tasting of exceptional pedigree. Châteaux Pichon Longueville Baron is one of only 15 Deuxièmes Crus from the classification of 1855. Our Vinotechaire, Howard Bell, will be leading us through more background and history of this property, along with a tasting of seven vintages, including 1995, 1996, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. A generous tasting pour of at least two ounces of each vintage will insure an in-depth examination of this ‘super second’ Pauillac.
Following the tasting, the inimitable Sam, proprietor of Thai Sa-On, will execute a whirlwind of Thai cuisine, offering three Bordeaux wines – blanc, rosé, et rouge – to pair with and try as you will throughout the banquet.
Initially this event will be limited to 24 attendees due to the availability of tasting wines, but should we reach an additional 12 (assigned to a waiting list) the total maximum for this exceptional event will be 36. Please do not delay in sending your RSVP Now.
