Join us for an intimate tasting exploring the heart of the Rhône Valley — where granite, limestone, and sun converge to produce some of the world’s most captivating wines. This five-wine flight features a perfumed Condrieu, a majestic Hermitage Blanc, a silky, spice-laced Côte-Rôtie, and two Châteauneuf-du-Pape vintages side-by-side, revealing how time shapes power and grace. The wines were carefully selected by Kat for this special flight.
