$100 Deposit Towards $479 Ticket | Price Increases to $525 After June 6th

We return again with another rendition of “The Cabernet Dinner” at the iconic JAR restaurant in Los Angeles.  At “The Cabernet Dinner” guests taste 21 wines, valued over $6,000 worth of 96-100 point Cabernet; three at a time; blind! And pick their favorites before they are revealed and discussed…. This occurs over a five-course JAR steak dinner designed by the legendary Chef Suzanne Tracht. 

This is about as much fun as you can have wine tasting!  Fast, fun, and amazing! This flight of wines was  inspired by the theme of “Get to know the producers, and the names of the winemakers”  “Learning about the brands defining the future of Cabernet” - we lean into the past, and into the future to see what the new top producers are doing to advance this amazing industry. This event is limited to 21 people.

Then the wines are served 3 at a time blind
