  Folio Fine Wine Partners - August 18, 2009
Founded by Michael Mondavi in 2004, Folio Fine Wine Partners' mission is to locate one-of-a-kind wines and make them assessable. They manage a collection of exceptional wines from all over the world - not only the most innovative wines from California, but also from emerging regions such as Spain, Austria and New Zealand.


Oberon wines nurture exceptional fruit from the classic Oakville, Rutherford and Stags Leap appellations, and from Napa's emerging sub-appellations. I'M Chardonnay is inspired by and made for Isabel A. Mondavi, by her son Rob. Rob has interpreted and developed her wine desires into a finished product. The fruit comes from the Russian River Valley, Knights Valley, and Alexander Valley.

Hangtime wines show superior quality of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah from cool-climate regions in which the grapes enjoy a long hang time on the vine. Four generations of the Mondavi family have helped bring Napa Valley to the forefront of the fine wine world. The artistry and passion that continue to support this rich winemaking tradition have inspired Mondavi to create Emblem for a rich, elegant taste of their past and future.

Flight tastings will include:
  • 2007 Oberon, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
  • 2008 I'M, Chardonnay, Sonoma
  • 2006 Hangtime, Pinot Noir, "Gallery Vineyard," Carneros
  • 2006 Michael & Rob Mondavi's Emblem, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford, Napa Valley

Priced at $35.00 per wine flight and $15.00 per canapé plate.

Join Michael Mondavi in Seasons Lounge for this special event on August 18, 2009 from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm. Our Executive Chef, Mark Richardson, is preparing several canapés to pair with these selections. For more information on this event, please visit our web site.
