Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon

Robert Simon, long-time friend of the Duke, is the proud proprietor of one of Southern California's premier restaurants, Bistro 45 in Pasadena. Each month, on a Monday evening, Robert hosts a dinner with wine pairings that takes a back seat to no other place around.

Since the menu is very much market driven, it is not available yet. The wines being featured are from a cult winery in Oakville, Ashe Vineyard, and Silver Oak Cellars and Twomey Cellars.

Dinner begins at 6:30PM on Monday, September 29 and costs $125.00 per individual, plus tax and gratuity.

A representative from the Duke will be there so you can purchase any of the wines you enjoy.

Call the restaurant at 626-795-2478 to make your reservation. Be sure to tell them the Duke made you do it!

Nobody does it better!
See you there!!

P. S. Mark your calendars for Monday, October 13, 2008. Jean Pierre Amoreau, maverick bio-dynamic winemaker and proprietor of Chateau Le Puy in Bordeaux, is arriving on the West Coast that week and has scheduled only three dinners during his visit, one of them at the Bistro. The 7 course menu will be paired with 14 wines. The cost is $125.00 plus tax and gratuity. Call the restaurant for full details and to make reservations.
