WORLD-CLASS CHARDONNAY WITH AN EXQUISITE 4-COURSE DINNER FOR ONLY $135!
“Last month my dad and I travelled to New Zealand and visited many outstanding producers. One that stood out was Kumeu River Wines, and we are thrilled to welcome Paul Brajkovich, their Sales & Marketing Director for a spectacular four-course wine dinner featuring
their critically acclaimed wines in Upstairs 2. The Brajkovichs, owners of the Kumeu River Winery, are nationally recognized as a founding family of the New Zealand wine industry, and the current generation are internationally recognized as producing world class Chardonnay. Kumeu River Chardonnays have been named to The Wine Advocate's 50 Best New Releases from 2015 and Wine Spectator's Top 100 list.
A couple of years ago, a UK merchant organized a blind tasting that pitted Kumeu River’s Chardonnays against a flight of premier cru and village Burgundies of the same vintage from leading producers including Leflaive, Lafon, Sauzet, Drouhin, Girardin and Niellon. The results of the blind tasting were unexpected -
with Kumeu River was the clear winner in three of the four flights, and tied for first in another. Read about this tasting in Decanter magazine here.
Two courses of our dinner will pair library releases of Kumeu River's elegant Burgundian-style vineyard-designated Chardonnays next to current releases so that guests can experience the evolution of these sublime wines. This is a winery dinner you won’t want to miss!” – Glen Knight, Wine House
