Wine Blending Dinner: Build Your Own Bordeaux! (BYOB) February 10, 2012, 6:30 PM SOLD OUT! Join us for Print Works Bistro's third wine-blending dinner, featuring Bordeaux-style wines from Trinchero Napa Valley, in a premier event room at Proximity Hotel. During a sumptuous dinner, paired with four fine Trinchero varietal wines, guests will learn how master blenders hone their craft and palate to create a final cuvée. The tasting will be guided by Certified Wine Educator and Advanced Sommelier Julia Hunt and Tim Hinckley with Trinchero Napa Valley. Chef Leigh Hesling will prepare four courses, paired with four Trinchero single-vineyard varietals--Petite Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The estate has a long and strong reputation for producing exceptional Bordeaux-style wines. Trinchero is perhaps best known for its iconic Meritage, a juicy and skillful blend of its vineyards’ finest barrels in exceptional vintages. Their senses heightened and their expertise sharpened four times over, guests are invited during the dessert course to assemble their own blend into a carafe, which will then be tasted by Julia and Tim. Trinchero Napa Valley is a family-owned California wine company that offers a diverse collection of fine wines from the premier growing regions of California and Australia.
