Tasters Guild 2000 Chatteauneuf du Pape Tasting
At Brasserie Beck, Thursday October 24, 2013 7:00 pm
1101 K Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005
We will have a 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape tasting at Brasserie Beck, October 24,
2013. 2000 was in the middle of a series of great vintages from 1998-2001. The Rhone has
never seen such a run of great vintages like this. We will start with a white aperitif from
Pierre Usseglio and then have ten reds in three flights with a menu designed by Brian
McBride at Brasserie Beck. Many of our wines are from the top domaines of the vintage and
received high scores. Cost of the dinner tasting is $185 per person.
Our third tasting of the fall will be a 1998 15th Anniversary tasting of Barolos,
Barbarescos and Super Tuscans. Several of them are in magnums. This was a super vintage
and the wines, particularly in a magnum format are just coming around. The tasting will be
before Thanksgiving at either Fiola or Casa Luca. Some of the Barolo magnums are Bric del
Fiasc (P. Scavino), Sori Ginestra (Conterno-Fontino), Nei Cannubi (L. Einudi). There is some
Solengo from Argiano and some Sassicaia as well and some Bianello. I will probably focus
in on one or two comparison vintages like 1997 or 1999 because there are not quite
enough 1998s.
