Let’s toast it up at Domaine Hudson !!!

Let’s toast it up at Domaine Hudson !!!

No, we won’t be drinking out of plastic buckets at the grocery store.  This tasting format is pretty revolutionary……It has often occurred to me whilst tasting with great wine growers the world over: “Man, if only people could get a chance to taste these wines….they would flip!”  I’m a firm believer that fine wine’s beauty is for everyone to sense and feel;  it is a pleasure principle driven act, that is not reserved uniquely for the initiated and cognoscenti.  The main barrier to this concrete reality is that, far too often, people just don’t get an opportunity to taste many of the rarer, obscure, or more costly wines of the world.  However, with a collective effort of discovery, we can all get a chance to know for ourselves what these wines are all about.  I’ve created a tasting format that I believe can dramatically change how we can approach the greatest wines of the world, removing them from their ivory tower or press driven label fawning, and putting them back on the table with friends and family where they belong.

I approached Dr Mike Ross, the new owner of Domaine Hudson with my idea: intimate and informative tastings for 10-12 people, in our own private space, virtually at wholesale cost.  We will present the wines in flights totaling six selections, and we divide the cost for the bottles equally.  To accompany, we can choose freely from their entire seasonally inspired menu, as much or as little as you would like.  The twinkle in his eye and his smile said it all: let us toast to Bacchus!

10th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 23rd.

To reserve a place at the table, a commitment for the cost of the wine flight ($15-25) is required.
