24th Annual California Barrel Tasting
featuring the 2007 Vintage
Next years 24th Annual California Barrel event will once again be held at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington DC which has become, universally the most popular location for the event by both wineries and attendees.
The 2007 vintage is without doubt a superb vintage and is defiantly worth coming out to experience this incredible vintage for yourselves!!!
The Annual Vintner’s Dinner will be held on Friday March 20th 2009. Tickets for this gastronomic event will be $350.00 per person.
The 24th Annual California Barrel Tasting will be on Saturday March 21st 2009 in two sessions the first from 12:30PM until 3PM and the second 6:30PM until 9PM. We have decided after careful consideration and many requests from the guests attending both sessions to extend both from 2 hours to 2 ½ hours. I think this will give our customers a little extra time to get to see everybody and maybe make the end of each session a little less hectic. Tickets for the tasting will again be $150.00 per person per session
Tickets for both the dinner and tasting will be available for sale December 1st 2008.
The room block for the hotel should already be available. The cost per night for next year is $295.00 per night. To make a reservation please call 1888 888 1778 and ask for the MacArthur Beverages room block. This rate will expire on February 12th 2009 so please make your reservations early.
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located at 1330 Maryland Ave S.W., Washington DC.
