Join Master of Wine Mike Best for this very special horizontal tasting exploring the 2014 vintage in Napa Valley. All proceeds will go to 211 LA.
Event details
With the wines now passed their 10th birthday, 2014 Napa Valley should be approaching an optimum drinking window.
Join Mike Best MW to get to grips with some of the key wines from this vintage. You'll learn how time allows these wines to develop, as well as getting to isolate different winemaking philosophies and site expression whilst comparing the selection of wines.
Proceeds will go directly to 211 LA, a charity supporting those impacted by the devastating Los Angeles fires earlier this year.
Your participation will help provide temporary housing, financial aid, and access to mental health and food services for fire survivors.
