Saturday's Seminars
Top 10 Tasting
A tasting of the Top 10 wines of 2004 as selected by the Wine Spectator board of editors and published in the Dec. 31, 2004, issue. The tasting was led by Wine Spectator senior editor and tasting director Bruce Sanderson, with additional commentary by the winery owners.
Bordeaux First-Growth Tasting
A truly memorable tasting from Bordeaux's five first-growths. These are the historic benchmarks in the world of fine wine. The owners of each château presented two wines: their 2000—a monumental vintage rated 99 points—and an exceptional older vintage. Wine Spectator senior editor James Suckling moderated.
Lunch with the Four Chefs
Extraordinary chefs Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, and Charlie Trotter showcased their culinary skills with their choices of accompanying wines. Wine Spectator executive editor Thomas Matthews was the referee.
