    ABC After Hours - December - Larmes de Grappe

    Join us this December for a special edition of ABC After Hours wine tasting, featuring the rarest wine from Au Bon Climat: Larmes de Grappe. Only 9 vintages of this exceptional wine have been made to date.What makes Larmes de Grappe so special? The grapes must reach perfect ripeness, and the stems need to undergo lignification, a complex process where stems turn woody and brown. This does not happen every year, making it truly rare. Lignified stems are included in the fermentation process, adding complexity and spice to the wine.Date: December 13thTime: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM$10 / Wine Club Members$30 / Non MembersLINE-UP:2016, 2017 & 2018 Larmes de GrappeIn addition to savoring these rare vintages, we’re excited to offer Limited Edition Holiday 3-Vintage Bundle of Larmes de Grappe in ABC's wooden box —making it the perfect gift for a loved one or a luxurious treat for yourself this season. We can't wait to see you!
