1945 Historic 70 Year Anniversary DinnerNo vintage in the post-World War era has a reputation as great as 1945. Its legendary status is well deserved based solely on the quality of the wines, but the fact that it is the “victory” vintage following World War II only adds to its luster. 1945 was a remarkably good vintage for virtually every wine region in the world, but it was especially great for Claret. Join us for a once in lifetime dinner celebrating one of the greatest vintages Bordeaux has ever produced. |
