Price includes one bottle of 2005 Meteor Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon signed by winemaker Dawnine Dyer. (Bottle will not be shipped to you. Available only at the event.)

The term cult Cabernet has been thrown around loosely over the years. Today’s offer, however, epitomizes the genre. This year’s golden ticket is the Cult Cabernet Seminar at Pebble Beach Food & Wine. This is your chance to taste 10 Napa Cabs – all from wineries that regularly fetch more than $200 a bottle – side by side with the winemakers. Even though all tickets are sold-out to the public, our friends at Food & Wine allotted 12 tickets for Lot18 members.

In this exclusive seminar held at Pebble Beach Food & Wine, you’ll taste two vintages each from Scarecrow, Dana, Meteor, Futo and Ovid. Frankly, it’s rare to even afford the opportunity to purchase one these wines – even if you have the means to do so. It’s even rarer to see all five of these high-caliber producers in one seminar, and it is downright extraordinary to have each of the winemakers present, guiding you through each of the wines side by side.

Cabernet Sauvignon is most certainly still king in California, and this seminar is sure to be a tasting that any collector or Cabernet enthusiast will never forget. We encourage you to purchase early so that you do not miss out on this exceptional opportunity.

Featured guests at this event will include Dawnine Dyer, winemaker at Meteor Vineyard; Jason Exposto, winemaker at FUTO; Austin Peterson, winemaker at Ovid; Stephen Tanzer, journalist; Cameron Vawter, director of production at Dana Estates; and Celia Welch, winemaker at Scarecrow.
