Sonoma Chic Dinner: Kistler Vineyards

Kicking off Robert Parker Wine Advocate’s New York City Matter of Taste events, we’re excited to present this dinner featuring one of California’s most iconic wineries: Kistler Vineyards. Focusing on the estate’s outstanding Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, Geoff Labitzke MW will take guests through five of their most stunning wines while recounting Kistler’s amazing story. Steve Kistler was a Burgundian style pioneer of the Sonoma Coast and Russian River. The wines will be paired with a specially designed Contemporary French four course menu from Chef de Cuisine Garrison Price and set amidst the stunning panoramic views of Mandarin Oriental, New York’s Restaurant Asiate. There are only 40 seats available for a place amongst the "Sonoma Chic", so reserve soon!

The Ultimate Hedonist’s BYOB Dinner
Eleven Madison Park NYC
As part of the New York City installment of Matter of Taste events, our review team thought it would be decadently fun to host a "La Paulée" Gala Dinner style BYOB event. Guests are invited each to bring up to three bottles of their favorite "90 RP points or above" wines to share with fellow subscribers and members of the Robert Parker Wine Advocate review team. Set in the private dining room of the three Michelin starred Eleven Madison Park Restaurant, a sumptuous sit-down, four course haute-cuisine menu will make this an extravagant feast not to miss. Plus, in the spirit of this high-profile BYOB occasion, Robert Parker Wine Advocate will be providing each table with a bottle of a 100-point wine! With only 40 seats available on a first come, first served basis, this a rare chance to participate in a true Hedonist’s Gazette dinner with reviewers Jeb Dunnuck, Liwen Hao, Monica Larner, Luis Gutierrez, Neal Martin, Stephan Reinhardt, Mark Squires and Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW. We hope to see you there!
