Exceptional wine is the type of thing that takes ages to perfect and, sometimes, even ages to fully understand. We do, however, know that some of the very best wines come from places deep in the heart of the French country like Cote de Beaune, Cote Chalonnaise, and Cote de Nuits.

On Tuesday, July 12, join other wine connoisseurs in an intimate gathering at db Bistro Moderne to explore the intricacies of French Burgundy wines, specifically those from the family estate of Domaine Faiveley and their 2008 vintages. Guests won’t be alone on their exploration, Sommelier Michael Haycook and popular importer Adam Lapierre will be there to guide the way. Additionally, Adam LaPierre will bring along a variety of bottles of varying vintages from his own personal collection to share with the guests in attendance. The special dinner begins with a reception at 6:30 p.m. and is followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m. The evening will feature Grand Cru Corton Clos des Corton and a delicate food menu created by Chef Jarrod Verbiak including Citrus Marinated Sea Scallops, Braised Pork en Daube, and a variety of finely selected cheeses and desserts.

Price is $175 per person and includes four courses with wine. For reservations, please call Sean Mulligan at 305.421.8803. db Bistro Moderne is located at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way inside of the JW Marriott Marquis in Downtown Miami. Visit the vineyard’s website to find out more about their wines and the family.
