Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon

We recently informed you about the historic Breitstein Wine Collection display that opened in the Vitners Hall of Fame at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. A press release dated April 2, 2009, announced that the CIA at Greystone, located in the heart of the Napa Valley, opened its Vintners Hall of Fame to the general public for the first time. The Vintners Hall of Fame celebrates the men and women whose collective vision, determination, and hard work have been responsible for the growth and worldwide prestige of the California wine industry.

"A History of California Wine: The David and Judy Breitstein Collection" is the first major educational exhibit to document the rich history of California wine as told through rare bottles and their accompanying informational placards. Meticulously curated by Karen MacNeil, chair of the CIA's Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies, the Breitstein Collection will display some 40 of the 150 historic bottles in the collection at any one time.

Visitors to the CIA at Greystone may enjoy dining at the teriffic Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant, staffed by students and professionals. David Breitstein says, "This is without a doubt one of the finest places to dine in Napa Valley." Tell them the Duke sent you!
