L’Ecole de Bourgogne (School of Burgundy)

What makes Burgundy wines the most celebrated and expensive in the world? Come and find out for yourself as the Sunday extension of Wine and Dine Wednesdays presents:

L’Ecole de Bourgogne (School of Burgundy)
An Intimate Evening of Fine Food, Fine Wine and Fine Company

Upon arrival, you will be greeted with an introductory glass of wine (choice of red or white) served in a Riedel crystal glass that is yours for the evening and a selection of artisan breads and cheeses.

An interactive discussion of Burgundy wines follows as we become acquainted with legendary names like Romanee and Richebourg and Musigny and Montrachet. As we taste through 8 fabulous selections (2 whites and 6 reds) with a combined retail value of over $1000, our personal server will be walking around with trays of sumptuous gourmet hors d’oeuvres carefully chosen to match the wines being poured. The evening wraps up with a very special surprise nightcap that is certain to leave everyone with the warm and fuzzies.

Price is $80.00 per person (plus $3 paypal fee) and the event is strictly limited to 14 guests. To guarantee your reservation, you must pay in advance by paypal. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE EVENT so please plan accordingly.
