It Started With A Whisper: Celebrating Whispering Angel's Twentieth Vintage [Wed, Feb 18 | 7:00PM]

Date & Time: Wed, Feb 18 | 7:00PM
Price: $250
Location: The Villa Casa Casuarina

An icon deserves an icon. Step inside the legendary Versace Mansion (The Villa Casa Casuarina) for a night of timeless glamour as Whispering Angel celebrates its 20th vintage — the rosé that created an entire category and forever changed the way the world drinks pink. The brainchild of visionary winemaker Sacha Lichine, often hailed as the Architect of the Rosé Renaissance, Whispering Angel transformed rosé from a seasonal sip into a global symbol of style and sophistication. From its roots in Provence to its reign as both the #1 rosé and #1 French wine in the U.S., this is a story of passion, innovation, and a touch of rebellion poured into every bottle. Now, beneath the glow of Casa Casuarina’s iconic courtyard — once home to fashion legend Gianni Versace and a stage for countless cultural icons — guests will raise a glass to 20 years of craftsmanship, celebration, and the whisper that started it all.

Today, Roederer Estate owns and farms 25% of the appellation's 2,500 planted acres, stewarding the land with sustainable practices that honor its natural beauty. The winery has remained dedicated to the traditions and craftsmanship of its French heritage while embracing the individuality of Anderson Valley. L'Ermitage, Roederer Estate's special tête de cuvée, is a sparkling wine made only in exceptional years from estate-grown grapes.

L'Ermitage debuted with the 1989 vintage. Roederer Estate wines are made with juice from just the cuvée pressing; no première or deuxième taille is used. The concept of the vintage L'Ermitage is the same one that is used in Champagne: only the best of the vintage is selected. These are exceptional wines that create a "noble" blend that allows for longer aging, which produces a fine wine with elegance and finesse. Featured Wines: 1.
