Saturday, October 17: Library Vertical Dinner featuring our Private Reserve Cabernet Collection
October 17 @ 6:00 pm
Doffo Winery’s Library Vertical Dinner
Saturday, October 17 | 6:00 PM
The MotoBarrel Room
One wine. Four consecutive vintages. A rare opportunity to taste how time, growing conditions and winemaking shape each bottle.
A vertical tasting explores the same wine across multiple vintages, tasted side by side to reveal how its character evolves from year to year. For this special evening, Doffo Winery will open four vintages of its Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon—2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024—from the cellar.
Winemakers will guide guests through the vintages, sharing the story behind each growing season and the distinct aromas, flavors and structure expressed in every wine.
Chef Jillian Fae has created a progressive dinner pairing designed to complement each Cabernet while highlighting the differences between vintages. More than a traditional winemaker dinner, this is an exploration of one of Doffo’s most distinguished wines through time.
