A Tasting of Pinot Noir and Cheese from Around the World
Date: Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Time: 5:30 – 6:30PM

Aspen certainly has its share of Burgheads, but while Burgundy is the benchmark for the finest interpretation of Pinot Noir, there is much more to experience from this noble varietal. This tasting will explore Pinot Noir from around the globe, spanning both New World and Old World styles. Guests will taste expressions from Brda, Slovenia; Napa Valley, California; Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy; Patagonia, Argentina; Willamette Valley, Oregon; Reims, Champagne, and more. Accompanying this tasting is a selection of paired cheeses from Burgundy's Epoisses to California's Cowgirl Creamery MT TAM.

Featuring Champagne, Dessert Wines, Chocolates, Cheeses and more

Valentine’s Day: love it or loathe it, it’s still one of the best excuses we know to drink sparkling wine and indulge in chocolate. No matter whether you’ve checked the box that says "in a relationship," "single," "it’s complicated," you can enjoy the pure physical pleasure inherent to Champagne and other sparklers. This tasting celebrates the joy in bubblies—beginning with a Spanish Cava, we’ll raise high our glasses to Champagnes and other sparklers, pouring Cava Recardo, and Champagnes from Roger Coulon and Voutte et Sorbée. Add some strawberries and some fine chocolate, and it’s an evening of fun, festivities, and potential frolic. Embrace the decadence and spend your Valentine’s night with us; you’ll fall in love—with sparklers!
