Your group of eight will enjoy a delectable six-course meal masterfully paired with six exquisite wines in the private Barrel Room at City Winery. Nestled in Chicago's West Loop, City Winery strives to deliver the highest-end combined culinary and cultural experience with those who are passionate about sharing wine, music and culinary arts. This unique foodie favorite offers a fully functioning winery with intimate concerts, food and wine classes, private events and fine dining.

Two of the wines, a 1997 Harlan Estate and a 1997 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, are exceptional cult wines and both received perfect scores from renowned wine critic Robert Parker. To be able to taste and compare these two red wines from the same year is an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity.

In his wine-rating newsletter, the Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Mr. Parker said the Harlan Estate "is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted. A blend of 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice and cassis. In the mouth, layer after layer unfold powerfully yet gently. Acidity, tannin, and alcohol are well-balanced by the wine's unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute."

Review of the Screaming Eagle, he writes, "It doesn't get any better than 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon, a perfect wine. Representing the essence of cassis liqueur intermixed with blackberries, minerals, licorice and toast, this full-bodied, multi-dimensional classic is fabulous, with extraordinary purity, symmetry, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. It has the overall equilibrium to evolve for nearly two decades, but it will be hard to resist upon release."

The other delicious wines hand selected by your private sommelier that your palate can look forward to are a 1990 Bollinger, RD, Extra Brut Champagne; a 2005 Chevalier-Montrachet Domaine Leflaive; a 2005 Marcassin Winery Pinot Noir; and a 1997 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port, Nacional.

At the end of the evening, each guest will take home a personalized bottle of red wine from City Winery's collection. This is a foodie and wine lover's experience that is not to be missed.
