We're raiding Dan Berger's wine cellar this August! 😱
EVENT DESCRIPTION
How often do you get to taste perfectly cellared wines that have been in the same climate controlled underground storage since their purchase on release nearly 50 years ago?
Dan Berger is a highly acclaimed wine author, judge and nationally syndicated columnist who began his career in 1976 and he has unlocked his personal cellar for US! Join us at San Francisco Wine School for a tasting of California's post-prohibition pioneering Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa, Sonoma, & beyond with vintages from 1974-1977.
Dan Berger will personally guide us through 10 wines that he wrote about then and many times since, giving us insight that is rarely available. This intimate event is limited to 14 attendees and only available as an in-person experience due to limited amounts of wine and their fragility.
