THE RESTAURANT AT 1900 — RARE WINE DINNER

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 10 people to enjoy the rarest French wines from iconic vintages, paired with the exquisite food of Linda Duerr from The Restaurant at 1900.

The successful bidder and their guests will be welcomed with a magnum of 1975 Bollinger RD. The first course will be paired with twin bottles of 1992 Montrachet Grand Cru, one from Gagnard-Delegrange and the second from related-family parcel of Delagrange-Bachelet. They farm the vineyard together but divide up the grapes and vinify separately. You will move to red Burgundy in the middle course and compare the 1990 and 1999 Richebourg from Domaine de la Romanée Conti. The meat course is matched with 1985 Château Lafite Rothschild, then a 1985 Château Haut Brion, and finally a 1985 Cheval Blanc. All first growth Bordeaux, but one is Cabernet Sauvignon based, one Cabernet Franc, and one Merlot. Dessert will be accompanied by an exquisite bottle of 1975 Château d’Yquem.

The evening will be educational as well as memorable—wine commentary will be provided by Kansas City’s own Doug Frost, one of only four people in the world to hold both Master of Wine (MW) and Master Sommelier (MS) designations.
