Legends of Europe: Contrasting 94+ Scored Wines of France and Italy

THE RESERVE SOCIETY of Orange County presents the most discriminating wine enthusiasts with carefully curated top wines on a monthly basis, creating a guided wine tasting event in appropriate company in a modern venue.
All wines will be rated 94 points or higher, and all wines will have a value within the range of $50 to $200. Every single wine will be important enough to be deserving of deep shared analysis over dinner.
