CURRENT EVENT
BORDEAUX WINE DINNER
Bordeaux wine has a track record for aging and evolving in the bottle. Bordeaux wine also enjoys a long aging curve. As a general example, the following rule of 3 works for most Bordeaux wine. If a Bordeaux wine takes 10 years to age, it will remain at its peak for 10 years before taking 10 years to fully decline.
Join the Greater Lansing Vintners Club for an evening of unparalleled 2000 vintage wines from the best regions in Bordeaux.
Pomerol …. St. Emilion …. Margaux …. St. Julien … St. Estephe … Sauternes
Chef James and Dusty’s culinary team will pair these wines with a French inspired 5 course menu.
