For 50 years, Duckhorn has been defining the pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking. They were the true trailblazers who saw the untapped, elegant potential of North American Merlot back in the 1970s—crafting velvety, seductive, and food-friendly wines that quite literally changed the industry landscape.
This is your chance to taste the magic of their world-class terroir. Duckhorn's estate spans 280 acres across nine distinct vineyards, including the highly coveted, sun-drenched slopes of Howell Mountain. Rising above the maritime fog, these vines produce grapes with extraordinary, concentrated flavor profiles. Winemaker Renée Ary takes an incredibly meticulous, artisan approach to every bottle: hand-picking and hand-sorting from nearly 200 distinct micro-blocks, and aging the wine in a custom, masterfully curated selection of 25 different types of French oak.
On the Menu:
Duckhorn North Coast Sauvignon Blanc
Duckhorn Napa Valley Chardonnay
Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot
Duckhorn Three Palms Merlot
Duckhorn Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
To make the night even more special, we are honored to have Mark Kremper, Duckhorn's Market Manager for Tennessee and Alabama, guiding our tasting. Mark is a powerhouse in the Nashville wine scene—having built dynamic, award-winning wine programs as the Wine Director at Etch and Husk. He brings an infectious passion, deep hospitality roots, and authentic storytelling to every single pour.
Trust us, this is going to be an awesome tasting you do not want to miss.
