Jesse Katz Winetasting (Healdsburg)
Enjoy a private tasting of highly acclaimed winemaker Jesse Katz's new custom blend, The Setting, along with some of his other handcrafted wines, in downtown Healdsburg.

The Setting Wines made national headlines in November 2017 when a rare bottle of the 2015 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon became the most expensive single bottle of wine ever sold in the world. It was purchased at Carnivale du Vin, Emeril Lagasse Foundation's annual charity wine auction and gala for the recording breaking price of $350,000! The bottle was part of a limited edition of The Setting Wines, created by Katz for famed Hollywood manager Shep Gordon.

Along with Gordon, Katz has also worked alongside Tony Hawk, helping him develop a custom blend for The Tony Hawk Foundation and Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, in which he created a custom blend for their wedding.

Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and JamesSuckling.com have all awarded The Setting's Alexander Valley Cabernet a 94 point rating.

Since 2010, when Katz was the youngest-hired head winemaker in the US, he has been named 40 Under 40 Tastemaker by Wine Enthusiast and was the first winemaker on the Forbes 30 Under 30. He has also been featured in numerous publications including Food and Wine, People, Wine Advocate, Drinks Business, ESPN, Esquireand many more.

Note: The Jesse Katz wine tasting will be with a host in the tasting room.
