If there’s interest, I’d like to host a Chateau Branaire-Ducru mini-vertical in Portland, Maine (with a few other Medocs thrown in for good measure).

So far, the tasting will include the following.

Possible Dates

May 29, June 3, June 5, June 25

The tasting will begin at 6pm and there will be charcuterie in case folks get hungry. Please let me know if you'd like to attend and which dates work best for you. This is my first time hosting a tasting so please bear with me as I do everything wrong.

Hope to you see you there!

I’m potentially in depending on the date and setup. Are you hosting at a restaurant? In home? Should attendees bringing bottles or are you providing?

It’s not a restaurant but a very pleasant venue in downtown Portland with plenty of seating for our purposes. This is a bit of an experiment for the owner so I’ll DM folks the address prior to the event as I’m not sure they want to promote publicly that they can do this type of event yet.

I’ll provide the wine so no need to bring any wine or glassware.

I’m potentially in. June 25th is tentatively the best date for me as my Friend Eileen will probably be here. June 3rd or 5th would work, I would be alone. I can’t do May 29th.

Unless you round up more people, it seems like a lot of wine. I don’t like to waste wine, prefer to go to tastings at about one bottle per person.

Please let us know how this evolves.
