Sample 50 Top California Cabernets for $55 at this September 30 “Benchmark Tasting” Event from Sigel’s
Leave it to Jasper Russo at Sigel’s to make it really easy to wrap your arms around cabernet sauvignon, the kings of grapes and the one wine that every sommelier in town will tell you sells itself.
Sigel’s is co-sponsoring what’s billed as a Benchmark Cabernet Tasting, and it’s the single best wine tasting event of the fall season.
On Monday, September 30, from 5:30-8pm, you can sample 50 different cabernets from California in one place– the Park City Club, 5356 Sherry Lane in Dallas — for just $55. Teamed with heavy appetizers (beef tenderloin, cheeses, quesadillas), this is gonna be a terrific tasting. Sigel’s is also offering special pricing on bottles of the same wines to savor later. Winery reps will be there pouring and answering questions.
But to attend, you have to reserve in advance (Randy McLaughlin, 214-350-1271 or rmclaughlin@sigels.com or Jasper Russo, 214-350-1271 or jrusso@sigels.com) Don’t miss this one. These tickets will sell out fast.
