Aged Wines - Auction Wine Tasting

Thu, March 1, 2018 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Vendange Institute 440 Albert Street Ottawa, Ontario

​Have you ever wondered what the effect of age is on a good wine but haven’t made the investment to find out? Have you ever give any thought to the condition and quality that wines bought at auction may deliver? To answer these questions Guild President Bill Ellis has been assembling a number of well-aged wines through auctions over the past few years for our members to taste and rate.

Having focused on Bordeaux in the past, this time we have added some Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Hermitage and even an older Caymus. Please join us to enjoy what will prove to be educational and enjoyable!

Here are the wines for the tasting:

• 1988 Chateau Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien
• 1995 Caymus Cabernet Special Selection
• 1996 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou
• 1999 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Boursan
• 2000 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Michelle
• 2000 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Roger Perrin
• 2001 Chateau Fonroque Saint-Emilion

This event has a limited amount of tickets to allow for decanting and sediment ensuring attendees get quality samples, as you can see the ullage and bottles look good. This is a member only event so please register soon to avoid disappointment.

Members Only: $100.00 (Includes HST)
