June 22nd we take off with wines from Chablis and Vosne-Romanée. Chablis is known for its mineral driven chardonnays and Vosne-Romanée is renowned for producing some of the world’s greatest pinot noirs.
We are pleased to offer the chance to enjoy the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Cuvée Duvault-Blochet from 2019. An extremely limited production of this 1er Cru wine is released on only select vintages and is rarely available.
We will get to know and understand the distinctions and nuances of these two terroirs with wine specialist Hristo Zisovski of Wilson Daniels (formerly wine director for Altamarea Group and Jean Georges restaurant), along with our Wine Director Heidi Turzyn.
Heidi Turzyn will lead us through Chablis, exploring this remarkable chardonnay appellation where the varietal shines in a cooler manner than the southern Burgundies of the Côte-d’Or. The wines of Chablis are deceptively bright on the palate, but the seriousness of the wines are revealed with stunning length and minerality.
Seats are $600 before tax and tip. Thank you for a prompt RSVP, and we look forward to toasting, drinking, and enjoying it all together. Limited to 12 Seats.
“Vosne-Romanée, is so regal and so perfumey. That's my wine. When I first encountered it my first thought was, 'I need to dissect and understand why Burgundy tastes different, and learn all the different vineyards and the hundreds of producers.”

“Chablis is a very special place and one that I adore. There is a great range of complexity from the wines of Chablis, from the mineral driven, delicate 1er Vaillon to the richer style of Grand Cru Valmur, which offers beautiful structure, power, and finesse. Every new vintage shows a new and exciting side of Chablis.”

“I remember when I first fell in love with Burgundy. It was a 1993 Volnay, Clos de la Bousse d’Or from Domaine de la Pousse d’Or. I had no idea what I was drinking, only that it changed my perspective on wine forever. I’ve been chasing that wine ever since, seeking the elusive, beautiful tension that you find in great wines. Burgundy for me remains the most special wine region; it’s a place that engages all the senses, and the wines are themselves a sense of that place. I will be hosting a series of dinners that will explore two regions and we will drink well and learn a little bit about what makes these wines noteworthy.”
