Thursday, October 5th @ 6:45 pm PST. 100 Point Dinner – a blind tasting of up to 21 near perfect wines. We taste 3 at a time blind. We pick our favorite. We tell the story
August 28th – LearnAboutWine returns to one of our favorite restaurants, JAR – an LA institution for over 20 years with Chef Suzanne Tracht. The 100-Point Dinner features 21 wines that scored between 100 and 98 points and will be paired with a 5 course dinner. All wines will be tasted blind, 3 at a time and revealed after guests vote for their favorites! In total when sold out – we will taste $14,000 worth of wine with dinner. The questions: which 100 point wine did we prefer? Where is it from? What is the grape? The country? and the price? This event is limited so get tickets here before they sell out! We take a $100 deposit and then post the final payment when the dinner has enough support.
