Cary Grant or Sean Connery?

The wine world's consensus is that Chateau Latour and Chateau Margaux are the two greatest expressions of terroir and wine making anywhere in the world; and while equally great, they are distinctive in their character and nuance.

Margaux is described much like film icon Cary Grant; a wine with finesse, style and elegance. A classic that transcends the momentary. While Latour is described much like the film icon Sean Connery; a wine with power, magnetism, sexiness and raw masculinity; an iron fist in a silk glove.

For this lucky Nichols Night winner, you will get a chance to taste two vintages of each of these wines at a curated wine tasting at the home of John and Carolyn Darby. To make things interesting, we will taste the wines blind, so you can focus and concentrate on what is in the glass without the distraction that an exposed label brings.

This will be an intimate affair provided only to the winner and your two (2) closest friends so pick carefully as this will be a night to remember!

6 Bottles of Orin Swift's Machete Red Wine 2020

A wine that always has a mind and signature of its own, Machete has been Orin Swift's foray into the world of California Petite Sirah. While the wine looks like it could be cut with a machete, it is quite literally the opposite. Robust, dominant and unapologetic, it creates its own gravity, pulling all towards it with vintage after vintage, resulting in a stellar blend of Petite Sirah, Syah and Grenache.

Machete opens with decadent aromas of blue and black fruits, charred meat, a hint of funk and troves of minimality, but closes with voluptuous texture and intensity. This wine will surely impress!

Explore and experience many different cuisines and restaurants with loved ones. There is nothing like treating yourself to nights out and creating memorable moments indulging in diverse and delicious dishes!
