The second edition of Wine by the Bay’s Collector’s Club onsite events will showcase wines rated 98+ points by some the world’s most famous wine critics. Join Stefano Campanini for a spectacular evening of wine and conversation while contemplating “The Curated Wine List” —
> Taittinger Comtes Blanc de Blanc 2002: 98 points from Robert Parker
The most special Champagne we have ever tasted. This is Chardonnay perfection in a glass! Drinks beautifully young and has the capacity to age for decades.
> Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Bordeaux Blanc 2009: 98 points from Robert Parker
An opulent white to sip slowly. When it warms and opens up in the glass you get a mouthful of buttered citrus, grapefruit and gravelly texture/acidity before a terrific lingering finish.
> Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista 2009: 98 points from Robert Parker
Black fruit, depth, opulence, and an endless finish. Grapes sourced from a vineyard planted in 1910!
> Fontodi Flaccianello delle Piave 2006: 99 points from Wine Spectator
Powerful flavors of coffee, bitter cherry, vanilla bean and Tuscan terroir in an extremely elegant package. The nose goes on for days, as does the finish. The layers of fruit and chewy tannin in between will take your breath away!
> Domaine Raymond Usseglio Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale 2010: 99 points from Robert Parker
The nose is complex, with notes of white chocolate and truffle that lead you into a gorgeous Chateauneuf du Pape with full-bodied texture, and rich flavors of blackberry, spice, licorice and lavender.
