Nicolas Catena Zapata dared to plant vines where no one thought they would ripen. His high-altitude wine revolution culminated in the discovery of a new terroir for wine. The Adrianna Vineyard, at almost 5,000 feet elevation, is considered South America's "Grand Cru."

Today, the team at the Catena Institute of Wine is dedicated to studying every meter, rock, insect, and microorganism in the Adrianna Vineyard, making it perhaps the most studied vineyard in the world.

Friends of Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation, Justin Goodman and Aubrey Craig invite you to join them for a very special educational tasting of 1986 Chateau Latour at The Salty Butcher complete with cheese and charcuterie pairings.

Marked by an exceptionally dry summer, Bordeaux's 1986 vintage produced an impressive collection of wines that projected immense structure and ripe tannins that created a foundation for longevity. The 1986 Latour maintains its reputation as one of the most stellar performances from Bordeaux's left bank.

Philanthropist and wine collector, Justin Goodman will be pouring a rare 5-liter of Chateau Latour in celebration of his birth year, while Aubrey and The Salty Butcher team provide locally sourced cheese and charcuterie from small, independent producers, ensuring the perfect pairing for this special tasting. Hosted for an intimate group of just 30 guests on September 18, 2024, this is one experience you won't want to miss.

THIS LOT INCLUDES:

• Two (2) tickets to a wine-tasting event featuring a 5L of 1986 Chateau Latour paired with cheese and charcuterie at The Salty Butcher on September 18, 2024

RESTRICTIONS: This lot is date-specific for 09/18/24, and cannot be rescheduled. In the event the 5L is flawed, Justin Goodman will pour a selection of First Growth and/or other comparable wines from his personal cellar in its place.

The new trend in Argentina is less oak-driven and more terroir-driven. These wines showcase what Argentinian wine is really made of: more pure fruit, medium-bodied, and easy drinking. Flown in from Argentina just for your cellar, you won't find most of these wines anywhere else stateside!
