Exclusive Bordeaux Dinner
Event @ 4 Seasons Hotel
In Philadelphia Feb. 6th

Excitement is overcoming me, as I have news about an extraordinary wine dinner planned by Kreston Liquor Mart in conjunction with center city Philadelphia's famous FOUR SEASONS HOTEL. The date is Wednesday, February 6th at 6:30 p.m. in the Hotel's Fountain Restaurant. Guests of honor are Alexandre and Francois Thienpoint, proprietors of Bordeaux's most famous estate, Chateau Le Pin, Pomerol, among others. The focus will be an examination of the wines owned or controlled by these two visionaries of Bordeaux culture. Along with the $500/bottle Le Pin will be Chateau Charmes Godard, Chateau Puygueraud, Chateau Labegorce Zede, Chateau Pavie Macquin and Vieux Chateau Certan, all matched to the world-renowned efforts of the Four Seasons' culinary staff. Full wine and menu details will be posted shortly at www.KrestonWines.com, but word-of-mouth has seats at this limited and exclusive event quickly disappearing. Thus this email. A similar examination of Thienpoint wines at October's Wine Spectator New York Wine Experience was one of the highlights of that prestigious event. And now Krestons and the Four Seasons bring you this exclusive tasting and dinner where you will get to experience some of Bordeaux's rarest wines and have the opportunity to discuss these treasures with the proprietors themselves, Alexandre and Francois Thienpoint. The price per person is $250 and you can make your reservations by calling the Four Seasons Hotel directly at 215-963-1500. But please act soon, because word-of-mouth alone has this limited seating event already half subscribed.
