St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Wynn Las Vegas, Chateau Haut-Brion and Sotheby’s have joined forces in hosting a remarkable event pairing 100 point wines from venerable vineyards across the globe with the finest dishes prepared by celebrity chefs and a charity auction of fine wines, Napa Valley and Turks and Caicos getaways, and a Sotheby’s boardroom dinner.
The Wynn 100 Point Wine Weekend, April 25-26, will feature a Vintner’s Reception in the Penske/Wynn Ferrari-Maserati showroom on Friday evening. Some of the “celebrity wines” offered will include Perrier Jouet Champagne, 2004 Chapoutier Ermitage Le Meal Blanc, 1989 La Mission Haut-Brion, and 2002 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select. Guests will mingle with expert vintners and winemakers.
On Saturday night a 100 point wine dinner featuring dishes from seven pre-eminent chefs will accompany full pours of amazing 100 point wines. Celebrity chefs on hand for dinner include Daniel Boloud, Michel Richard, and Frederic Robert. The evening wil also include James Ritchie, Senior VP Sotheby’s North American Wine Department and Jean-Philippe Delmas of Chateau Haut-Brion and Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion. Besides the dinner and auction, Saturday will also feature a course on wine buying and investing by Sotheby’s along with other events hosted by the Wynn.
All guests enjoy a two-night stay at the Wynn Tower Suites at Wynn Las Vegas, which has won a long laundry list of Five-everything awards from myriad magazines. Ticket packages start at $5,000.00 per person. If a group of eight buys tickets, golf at the Wynn is included for a foursome. Here is some contact information:
