Upcoming Wine Events:

Aged to Perfection Wine Dinner

August 20, 2008 at 7:00pm

Not many things age with grace. In fact only two things come to mind –

turn of the century Mansion and fine wine.

Perhaps you have cellared a fine wine because it is a collectible, or hard to find,

or quite simply, it induces nostalgia.

Imagine an opportunity to uncork that bottle aged wine you have been treasuring,

waiting for that special occasion to come along.

Whatever the reason, this will be the occasion - the time is now…..

There’s no finer place than Stimson-Green Mansion

to uncork your vintage wine than in our vintage home.

Our house plays host to this unforgettable evening.

Upon arrival, sip on a champagne cocktail, nibble on delicious appetizers

and tour our beautifully restored Mansion.

A sit down coursed dinner to complement the wine tasting will then follow in the Library.

This dinner promises to be intimate, as you debut,

along with other wine enthusiasts your matured wine.

You will partake in sharing one another’s laid down wines,

savoring their complexity while enjoying your meal.
