Following our tradition of perfectly paired 100-Point Dinners, we proudly present the next installment in the series… The Zenith Dinner! Featuring a staggering 25 100-point wines and only eleven pours, this dinner is the upper echelon, the crème de la crème of wine dinners.
A 100-point rating is a rarity in the world of wine critics. Any critic worth his or her salt wouldn’t stake their reputation on just any wine. It’s an honor for a producer, but even more so, it’s a gift to those fortunate enough to taste such a coveted bottle. And we’re going to open 25 esteemed wines in one evening.
Super-generous hosts, Pamela and Anthony Cmelak, will join the eager tasters at the new Tempo by Hilton on Saturday, October 19, 2024, for what is certain to be a whirlwind of an evening. Following a Champagne reception, guests embark on an expertly coordinated plan of top-rated bottles paired with amazing courses by Chef Jason Lawson. Cheers!
