Mira Winery Aquaoir Wine Taste Test & Chef Pairing Dinner

Mira Winery is pleased to offer a select few of our restaurant partners the opportunity to host a blind tasting of our ocean-aged wine (Aquaoir) and a Winemaker Chef pairing dinner.  The two events should be hosted in tandem, with the tasting followed by the dinner.  There are several stipulations we hope you will review and agree to before committing to a date.  Both events will be opportunities for your customers.

An Aquaoir tasting is an opportunity to gather 18 of your customers for a blind taste test of Mira’s Aquaoir ocean-aged 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon against the same wine aged on land.

Requirements for hosting a tasting:

•    The blind taste test must be limited to 18 individuals. Mira will provide the wine at no charge to the restaurant (one bottle each of the Aquaoir ocean-aged 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon against the land-aged 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon)

Following the Aquaoir tasting, a dinner will be held where Mira Wines are paired with the chef’s menu.
