Wine Blending Dinner Details on our next Wine Blending Dinner coming soon! Below is info about our last one... Build Your Own Bordeaux was held Feburary 12, 2010 at Proximity Hotel Print Works Bistro presents its first wine-blending dinner, featuring Bordeaux-style wines from Trinchero Family Estates in the Napa Valley. 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 Schiavone and Tim Hinckley with Trinchero Family Estates. 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. The prize for the best blend will be a bottle of vintage Trinchero Estates Meritage. Trinchero Family Estates is a family-owned California wine company that offers a diverse collection of fine wines from the premier growing regions of California and Australia.
