Seated Tasting
Friday, February 27
7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Wines by the Glass/Bottle until close

Rising Stars isn’t about new wineries alone—it’s about new directions. The global wine industry is in a period of rapid change: climate patterns are shifting, forgotten grape varieties are being rediscovered, land prices are pushing growers into new regions, and cultural forces—from sustainability to celebrity ownership—are reshaping how wine is produced and consumed.

This tasting highlights bottles that symbolize these transitions. Some represent revived heritage grapes, others show emerging terroirs, new stylistic philosophies, or the growing intersection of culture and wine. Together, they offer a glimpse into where fine wine is heading—not just where it has been.

We’ll be tasting:

• Domaine de la Prébende Beaujolais Blanc 2023 — Beaujolais, France
  A fresh look at Beaujolais beyond Gamay, highlighting the region’s growing reputation for serious, value-driven white wines.

• Tenuta Garetto Derthona Timorasso 2012 — Piedmont, Italy
  A powerful example of Italy’s indigenous grape revival, showcasing Timorasso’s rise from near-extinction to cult status.

• Domaine Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune 2021 Premier Cru Aux Guettes — Burgundy, France
  Represents the shift toward rising Burgundy villages as wine lovers seek quality beyond the most famous and expensive appellations.

• Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2020 — Tuscany, Italy
  A classic denomination illustrating how even historic regions evolve through modern techniques and changing climate conditions.

• Ultreia El Rapolao Mencía 2021 — Bierzo, Spain
  A benchmark from one of Spain’s fastest-emerging fine-wine regions, spotlighting Mencía’s growing international acclaim.

• Two Wolves Petit Verdot 2021 — Santa Barbara, California
  Blends celebrity influence with serious winemaking while championing Petit Verdot as a stand-alone varietal rather than just a blending grape.

Secure your seat and sip what’s next in the world of fine wine.
