Restaurant Diners: The Next Generation

Date & Time: February 24, 2012 | 2:00PM
Price: $2
Location: Hotel Victor soon to be Thompson Ocean Drive, 1144 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139

The average restaurant diner’s profile has changed dramatically over recent years. They’re younger, perhaps more cost conscious and bold enough to photograph their food before taking even a first bite. Our chefs will explore how these new diners have shaped and impacted the current dining landscape and probe the chicken v. egg question of who changed the rules first: diner or chef.

Crystal Clear: Does the Glass Make a Difference? Hosted by Maximilian Riedel

Date & Time: February 24, 2012 | 3:00PM
Price: $100
Location: the PERRY, SOUTH BEACH, 2377 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach

If you’ve ever wondered if the glass makes a difference, here is your chance to find out! Maximilian Riedel, 11th generation of this Austrian glassmaking dynasty, will lead a glass tasting featuring the new “Key to Wine” glass set. Taste and compare two different grape varietals in different Riedel grape-specific shapes. At the end of the tasting, the “Key to Wine” glasses are yours to keep. Key to Wine” includes one of each of the most popular varietal-specific glasses from Riedel’s “O” series - Chardonnay (Montrachet), Riesling/ Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir (Burgundy Red), Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot (Bordeaux) and Shiraz/Syrah. Riedel’s “O” series is the ground-breaking brainchild of Maximilian J. Riedel, CEO of Riedel USA (11th generation). Conceived in 2004, the “O” series grabbed the attention of the wine and tabletop industries as the first-ever grape varietal specific stemless glassware. Maximilian sought glassware that would be stackable and easy to use for soft beverages in addition to wine, and the resultant “O” glasses are perfect for apartments and for families with pets – their size and shape, in addition to enhancing the aroma and flavor of wine, make spills much easier to avoid. The contemporary and chic collection is a more casual alternative to stemware for those who crave elegant yet ergonomic designs for everyday use.

Riedel Crystal is known worldwide for designing the most finely tuned drinking instruments for every level of wine sophistication. To showcase each wine in its finest form, Riedel's varietal specific wine glasses enhance the aromas and taste components, finding a wine's maximum complexity by featuring the best possible harmony. The shape and size of the glass creates a balanced interaction between fruit, minerality and acidity, while de-emphasizing the evidence of alcohol. When all these elements are in place, the glass becomes the wine’s ‘loudspeaker,’ transmitting the message of the beverage to the human senses.

Plus you get to take the glasses home!

Amstel Light Burger Bash presented by Allen Brothers Steaks and Diet Pepsi hosted by Rachael Ray

Date & Time: February 24, 2012 | 7:30PM
Price: $225
Location: Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, 1 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139

You asked for it and we delivered! Amstel Light Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray presented by Allen Brothers Steaks is moving to Friday night and expanding its footprint under our trademark white tent behind The Ritz-Carlton, South-Beach. That’s right, more room for dancing, more room for drinking Amstel Light beer—the finest pale lager from Holland, and of course more room to sample the dozens of burger creations from the country’s most talented chefs. Since she missed NYCWFF’s Burger Bash® in 2011, Rachael Ray will no doubt be burger deprived, so the expectations are increasingly high to please America’s Culinary Sweetheart. In 2011, Michael Symon’s burger with fried salami, provolone, shasha hot sauce and pickled onion claimed the People’s Choice award, making the Food Network star and B Spot owner the two-time champ to beat. Who will the People vote for this year? The only way to find out is to attend the hottest and most sought after ticket of #SOBEWFF weekend!

VIP RECEPTION: A limited number of lucky Burger Bash® enthusiasts will have the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets ($325) and receive a special 45-minute preview. Be the first to try the burgers as doors fly open at 6:45 PM and watch Rachael Ray meet and greet the Burger Bash® chefs and taste what they’ve got cooking. A portion of the proceeds from the preview reception will benefit Rachael's Yum-o!® Foundation, a nonprofit organization that feeds hungry children, funds cooking education and scholarships, and empowers families to develop healthy relationships with food.

CVNE – The Past Reveals the Future

CVNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) is one of the most renowned and historic bodegas in all of Spain. Founded in 1879 by the Real de Asúa brothers, Eusebio and Raimundo, the company has been an integral part of the Rioja region’s ascendance in the world of fine wine. With their combination of traditional roots and innovative vision, CVNE has been one of Rioja’s most reliable sources for high quality wine. The company is still run by descendants of the Real de Asúa brothers, now represented by the fifth generation with current CEO Victor Urrutia Ybarra.

The 3 family wineries perfectly symbolise the 3 essential principles that have always characterised the CVNE philosophy: the respect of heritage evident at the historic Cune bodegas in Haro; the embrace of new technology and innovation in the James Bond-inspired Viña Real facility; and the valorisation of terroir that is Contino, Rioja's most magical vineyard site transformed into truly magical wines.

This fascinating seminar, led by CEO Victor Urrutia Ybarra, will explore the great wines that have propelled CVNE to the forefront of Rioja. You will also be treated to a glimpse of the illustrious family history, with a rare tasting of some their world famous vintage library selections.

Antinori and Ste. Michelle Wine Estates: A Partnership of Iconic Cabernets

Price: $125
Location: the PERRY, SOUTH BEACH, 2377 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach

Antinori and Ste. Michelle Wine Estates: A Partnership of Iconic Cabernets

Wine legends Marchese Piero Antinori and Ste. Michelle Wine Estates President & CEO Ted Baseler will lead you on a tasting journey of their most iconic Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet-based wines from Italy, California and Washington state.

The Antinori Family history is a narrative about devotion to winemaking that is woven through 625 years and 26 generations and stretches from the family’s legendary vineyards in Tuscany and Umbria to their latest ventures in the United States.

Piero Antinori, known for his life-long curiosity about how grapes are grown around the world, journeyed to Washington in 1992 and discovered during that trip an emerging wine region supported by the zealous leadership of Chateau Ste. Michelle, the Northwest’s oldest and most-acclaimed winery in the Ste. Michelle Wine Estates portfolio.

Recognizing the potential for world-class Cabernet in Washington, he formed a partnership with Chateau Ste. Michelle to introduce Col Solare, Italian for “shining hill,” in 1995. The partnership expanded with the acquisition of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, the iconic Napa Valley winery, in 2007. Today, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates is the exclusive importer for Antinori wines in the U.S. and manages sales for Antica Napa Valley, an Antinori family estate.

Piero Antinori and Ted Baseler will present the iconic wines that have brought recognition for their leadership in their respective regions as well as wines produced by the partnership. Both will focus on the stylistic differences by region (terroir and culture) and will demonstrate how the two perspectives are joined in a single wine.

Featured Wines:

2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills
2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Ethos Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley
2008 Col Solare Columbia Valley
2008 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon

A Master Class in White Burgundy by Alex Gambal and his wines from 2008

Why is White Burgundy not simply chardonnay? Why can such a grape either be simplistic or take on levels of complexity unimagined? Why does Chardonnay reach its highest level in Burgundy and why does it sometimes fail? What makes it the easiest (and most popular) of grapes to grow but so difficult to be nuanced and not boring? Why is it that many say "I do not like chardonnay" but love White Burgundy? What does "terroir" really mean and why it is not a term just for the soil but is an idea for the uniqueness of place with the grape a merely a mirror of its environment and the growing season?

Please join us and explore these questions as we taste six of Alex Gambal's White Burgundies from 2008. Alex will discuss his winemaking style but most importantly he will detail the differences in each wine's "terroir" or character that has been debated before the monks settled in Burgundy 1000 years ago.

• 2008 Meursault Clos du Cromin
• 2008 Puligny-Montrachet

Winebow Presents Iconic Wines from Italy

Leonardo LoCascio, founder of Winebow, and one of the foremost experts on Italian wine, provides an unprecedented inside look into what makes a wine “iconic” while sharing with you six of the most celebrated and highly regarded wines from Italy. Very simply defined, an icon is an object of uncritical devotion, something that becomes an emblem, something that is idolized. In the wine world, an icon is a wine that sets the standard that others want to follow. In this seminar, Mr. LoCascio will present some of Italy’s standard bearers—wines that are sought out annually by top-notch restaurants and wine shops nationwide.

Leonardo LoCascio has been selecting wines for his portfolio with the same care and dedication for the past 30 years. He makes frequent trips to Italy as part of this meticulous selection process to focus on family-owned wineries that deliver the essence of Italy. Along the way he has earned a reputation for uncovering the best wines of Italy, often discovering hidden gems that he shares with wine connoisseurs in the states. Mr. LoCascio has earned nearly every accolade imaginable from wine writers and has been recognized by business organizations around the country as a brilliant entrepreneur and a humble civic leader. Winebow was named Importer of the Year in 2009 by Wine Enthusiast magazine and Mr. LoCascio has been cited for his excellence in and his influence on the wine industry in The Wine Advocate, The Quarterly Review of Wines, and Wine Business Monthly, to name a few. He has been honored with awards by Ernst & Young, The Italian Trade Commission, and The National Italian American Foundation for his professional contributions to the American marketplace.

The wines chosen for today’s tasting represent a selection of icons of the Italian wine world. The tasting tour will begin on the windswept, exotic island of Sardinia, followed by a stop on the unspoiled, magical coast of Tuscany. The journey continues with an in-depth look at the concentrated wines from the hillsides of historic Mt. Vesuvius and ends in Verona—the fabled city of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. Join us for this exceptional opportunity to taste with and learn from one of the world’s leading authorities on Italian wine.

Riesling Rocks! Discovering Riesling Styles, Terroir and Ageability

Riesling is on the rise and one of the fastest growing varietals by wine sales in the U.S. Let two of the world’s leading Riesling producers, Bob Bertheau, winemaker of Washington’s Chateau Ste. Michelle and Ernst Loosen of Germany’s Dr. Loosen estate, lead you on a special exploration of Riesling to discover the tremendous versatility of this noble white grape, from bone dry to decadently sweet.

After a decade of collaborating on Eroica Riesling, experience what these two innovative Riesling winemakers have learned about the best sites for Riesling and the changing vineyard practices needed to achieve the best results. Hear how they've worked, puzzled and refined their thoughts, vineyards and winemaking techniques toward their shared goal of making the best Riesling in America.

Chateau Ste. Michelle has been a champion of Riesling for more than 40 years and was among the first to plant Riesling in Washington State. The Columbia Valley of Washington produces more Riesling than any other American wine region. The Dr. Loosen estate has a 200-year tradition of producing Riesling in Germany’s Mosel region. With his modern world view and his traditional approach to winemaking, Ernst Loosen strives to produce wines that unmistakably express the character of Riesling and of the vineyards where they are grown. In 1999, Chateau Ste. Michelle teamed up with Ernst Loosen to collaborate on Eroica Riesling, an ultra-premium Washington Riesling that has set the bar for American Riesling for more than a decade.

Featured Wines:
2010 Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling
2006 Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling
2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling
2010 Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling

A VERTICAL TASTING OF FONTANAFREDDA BAROLO SERRALUNGA D’ALBA DOCG

Join lead winemaker Danilo Drocco for an extraordinary tasting of eight historic vintage Barolos from the cellars of Piedmont’s renowned Fontanafredda estate. Begin with a comparative tasting of two outstanding examples of Fontanafredda’s Vigna “La Rosa” Barolo – 2007 & 1999. Next, embark on a journey through six superb vintages of the estate’s Serralunga d’Alba Barolo, beginning with 2007 and travelling back in time to the sublime 1990. Serralunga d’Alba, among Fontanafredda’s most prized vineyard sites, is widely considered to have one of the best terroirs in the world for fine Nebbiolo wines. Since 1878, Fontanafredda, located in the heart of the Langhe region, has been a true institution in Piedmont, a benchmark for authentically-styled Barolo and Barbera wines that deftly balance intense aromas and deep concentration of fruit with outstanding finesse and elegance. This style is fully in line with Danilo Drocco’s philosophy that “Barolo should reveal itself little by little, rather than all at once.” Don’t miss the chance to experience this philosophy firsthand!

Featured Wines:

2007 Vigna “La Rosa” Barolo DOCG

1999 Vigna “La Rosa” Barolo DOCG
