Sommelier Series Masterclass: Demystifying The Cult Cabs of Napa Valley

Join us Sunday February 28 th 5pm – 6:30pm for our next exclusive Sommelier

Series event “Demystifying The Cult Cabs of Napa Valley” hosted by our

American Wine Society, Monterey Chapter Sommelier and Wine Educator

Paige Post Bindel.

Ever wonder about this rare and iconic category of Cabernet Sauvignon whose

bottles fetch prices in the thousands of dollars? These wines stir questions like,

What is a Cult Cab? Why are they so expensive? Do they taste better because

they break the bank? What do they even taste like? AND Is there any chance for

me to experience these 100-point trophies for myself?

Sought after by the most discerning collectors around the world, names like

Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Scarecrow and Colgin have become synonymous with

wine enthusiasts and collectors alike with only the deepest pockets. 

But what about the rest of us? Is there any chance to experience any of these

legends of the Napa Valley that won’t set us back a months mortgage payment?

Well, the answer is yes! and Paige will walk us through the history of Cult Cabs,

describe how they taste and then fill us in on how we can acquire and experience

these elite treasures for ourselves. Paige has expert recommendations on how

you can sip these Napa world-class producers for a fraction of the price. Don’t

miss out!

So mark your calendar and open a bottle of your favorite Napa Valley Cabernet,

pour yourself a glass because Big Bold Cab is on the list for this months

featured Sommelier Series and your invited! No purchase necessary to attend.

The presentation will last about an hour after which we will have a social Q&A

time to share and swap stories. Hope to see you there!

Don’t forget to RSVP at AWSmonterey.org for the event at least 24 hours in advance…Cheers!
