High-end Bordeaux with MICHAEL SCHUSTER

The Gala Dinner of the festival celebrating mature Bordeaux accompanied by tasting insights and comments by one of the world’s leading Bordeaux authorities and our long-time friend Michael Schuster!

The concept of the evening:

Only 1996 vintage. Only Pauillac and its northern neighbour Saint-Estèphe. Only First growths, and Super-seconds. Plus the occasional over-achiever from Pauillac like Lynch-Bages or Pontet-Canet. Let us know which of these you would kindly offer for the dinner, and we’ll secure Vincent’s cuisine, the company of Riga’s most passionate claret lovers, and Michael Schuster’s insights and commentaries!
