Want to Drink Like the Rich & Famous? Discover Spain's Legendary Wines at Exclusive SoCal Event

July 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Ever wonder what it would be like to taste wines that most people only read about? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could taste hard-to-get wines AND have someone explain why they are so great? Now is your chance!

On August 16, Bacchus Wine Market hosts The Wine Academy of Spain as they present their “Masterclass & Tasting of Legendary Spanish Wines.” This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy some of the most fascinating wines the Spanish industry has ever produced. Ever heard of Vega Sicilia Unico? It is arguably Spain’s most famous “traditional” wine. It’s highly allocated (not every retailer can sell it) and expensive (the latest vintage sells for $350+ a bottle). What about the cult wine Termanthia or Bodegas Aalto PS by superstar winemaker Mariano Garcia? Both scored 95+ points and are incredible examples of Spain’s “modern” wines. Imagine what it would be like to be one of only 50 people in southern California to taste wines like these on August 16.

For only $120, you can sip and savor 10 legendary wines, enjoy an array of gourmet appetizers and learn what makes these wines so special. Let me tell you a secret.…even wine professionals may not have had a chance to taste all of these wines! The Wine Academy of Spain will make only one stop in southern California this year. Bacchus Wine Market in downtown San Diego is it. Bacchus is the exclusive venue for this exciting event. Don’t miss your chance to participate. Only 50 seats are available. To reserve your part of the action, call 619-236-0005 or visit www.bacchuswinemarket.com.

Bacchus Wine Market is located in downtown San Diego at 647 G Street, between 6th and 7th avenues. Bacchus is open Monday-Saturday from 2pm to 9pm and Sundays 12pm to 6pm.
