RESERVE - $125*
RESERVE creates the rare occasion in which wineries must choose the single wine they are most enamored with to share with you. This event adds a unique twist as the wine chosen must fit into one of four categories - power white/Rosés, reserves, library wines and futures. New this year - Should you happen upon a futures wine that you can’t live without … you don’t have to! The new Futures Auction allows the top five bidders of each unreleased wine to secure a case once the winery has determined that it is ready to be bottled. This unique opportunity allows you to taste the future now and reunite with it after the wine is ready to grace your cellar.
