In creating Casa Lapostolle, the Marnier-Lapostolle family has pursued the same uncompromising approach to quality that made Grand Marnier a world-wide success. Their objective is simple as it is ambitious: to create world-class wines using French expertise and the superb terroir of Chile. The whole venture started when Alexandra and Cyril had a “coup de Coeur” for the Apalta vineyard in Colchagua. Chilean climate is perfect for vine-growing. The vines have never been grafted. It was a revelation to discover that a good number of very old vines were still growing in the vineyards. These original cuttings were brought over from France in the last century and arrived in Chile before the dreaded phylloxera louse attacked the parent stock in Europe. As a result, the old vines in Chile are healthy and descendant from great French lineage. This Casa Lapostolle Chilean wine tasting will feature the following wines: Cabernet Sauvignon Alexandre ’05, Cabernet Sauvignon Rapel ’06, Chardonnay Alexandre ’06, Merlot ’05, Syrah Alexandre ’05, Borobo ‘02 All appetizers are 1/2 price with the tasting. Enjoy live jazz by the Frank Potenza Trio from 7pm to 8:30pm, and free parking!
