Time Travel with Opus One and the Himmelfarbs!

Ah Opus One, the California First Growth!

First, the dinner details: June 20, 2025, at the home of Cynthia & Elliot Himmelfarb. Chef Kevin Ramquist, known for his “unicorn” culinary creations will provide the wine’s food counterpart for the evening. Ten lucky spots at the table.

Second, the wine: Opus dating back to its second ever vintage (1981) with exemplary bottles from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Opus One wine made its public debut in 1984, however even before its official release, it had garnered significant interest, as a single case of the wine sold for $24,000 at the first Napa Valley Wine Auction in 1981. By the 1990s, Opus One had risen to prominence as the quintessential California cult wine, finding a dedicated following not only in the United States but also across Asia and Europe.

Opus One is a living testament to the dedication of its founders, Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, to create a wine of unparalleled quality and distinction. Their collaboration has given the world a masterpiece that transcends time and place, capturing the essence of each vintage. Opus One is not just wine; it is a symbol of excellence, an art form, and a representation of boundless possibilities that can be achieved when visionary minds come together in pursuit of a common goal.

In one word: Delicious.
