The 1979 showed brilliantly on that occasion as it did in 2010 when we showed it at the great wine seminar with Opus’s CEO David Pearson. We have always been big fans of Opus One and have hosted several events over the years with this winery including an event that put all 26 consecutive vintages released at that time of Opus One on the table. Well, it is kind of ironic that the wines from this winery are now getting the best press ever. September/October means it’s time for the fall releases and none of these are more highly anticipated than the iconic Opus one and this year since we have 10 vintages of this first growth of Napa Valley in the store I thought it would be appropriate to host a vertical tasting of Opus One to celebrate the release of the 2017 vintage.Īre there two men that walked the earth over the last 100 years that were more important to the wine industry as a whole? I am talking about the two original partners in the Opus One project Robert Mondavi and the Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The best thing about this table is the view of the wine, we have the largest selection of vintage wine in South Florida and everything is available at a retail price!! You may want to bring a sweater it is 64 degrees in the wine cave. We must know in advance what food items you want so you will have to coordinate the menu with Toni ahead of time but she can put together any of your favorites from past Wine Bar menus or whatever you want if she has enough notice. We will take up to 15 people but will accept as few as 6 for a curated dinner by Chef Toni. Baron Philippe de Rothschild, The Essential Wine Buff, edited by Jennifer Taylor, 1996. And whatever you do with enthusiasm is generally successful.” Baron Philippe de Rothschild, quoted in: “All American wine tastes the same … like Coca Cola.”
