"An Eclectic Experience"
Featuring:

BYRON

CAYMUS

LUCENTE

NICHOLS

ROSENTHAL

Dear Wine Associates:

It is our very great pleasure to invite you to join us on Thursday, June 11, 1998, for "AN ECLECTIC EXPERIENCE" featuring a diverse selection of absolutely outstanding wines and formidable personalities from BYRON, CAYMUS, LUCENTE, NICHOLS and ROSENTHAL. BYRON VINEYARDS, located in the beautiful Santa Maria Valley near Au Bon Climat, was founded by Ken Brown in 1984. A few years ago, it was purchased by the Robert Mondavi Family; however, Ken remains the General Manager and Winemaker. His reserve wines are among the very best produced in the Central Coast appellation. We are hoping to have Byron's Assistant General Manager, David Block, on hand to share their excellent reserve Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

CAYMUS VINEYARDS, located in the prime Rutherford area of Napa Valley, was established in 1971 by Charlie Wagner. Over the years, Caymus has achieved a reputation as one of California's greatest producers of Cabernet Sauvignon. Currently, Charlie's son, Chuck, continues the tradition of excellence as he both runs the winery and produces their award-winning wines.

La Vite LUCENTE is the second wine of a joint venture between the Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi families. The first collaboration between these two respected winemaking families was Luce, an ultra-premium red wine from the Montalcino region in Tuscany, Italy, that debuted in the Fall of 1997. Lucente, a Sangiovese and Merlot blend sourced from the broader appellation of Tuscany, debuts with the 1995 vintage, which is considered the best in Tuscany since 1945. We are thrilled to be able to premiere this exciting new wine this evening with the assistance of Sharon McCandless, Regional Sales Manager for the Robert Mondavi Winery properties.

NICHOLS WINERY, located just south of San Luis Obispo in Arroyo Grande, California, was established by Keith Nichols in 1991. As Proprietor, Winemaker and Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Keith has received rave reviews for his limited production Central Coast Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. We are delighted to have Keith join us to present his absolutely fabulous 1996 releases, which were produced from an "eclectic" variety of microclimates and terroir.

ROSENTHAL-THE MALIBU ESTATE, located off of Kanan Road in the Malibu Hills of Southern California, is the exciting vineyard property of George and Karen Rosenthal. Beginning with the first vintage in 1991, the distinctive, rich and complex Rosenthal Cabernet Sauvignons have been produced from grapes grown on the estate, hand-harvested into small bins and immediately trucked to Sanford Winery in Buellton, where Winemaker Bruno d'Alfonso crushed them the same day. The 1994 vintage is delicious and we are extremely happy that George and Karen will be here to share it with us.
