The lineup for the retrospective tasting
We are thrilled to be hosting a masterclass featuring the wines of Peter Michael Winery, at the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter NYC (DFWE) on Saturday 8 June 2024. Peter Michael Winery is one of the most highly regarded producers in California, making terroir-driven, limited-production wines in a ‘California classic’ style.
During this tasting, winemaker and geophysicist Robert Fiore and Decanter’s Napa Valley correspondent Jonathan Cristaldi , will guide tasters through several vintages of two wines: ‘L’Après-Midi’, a Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blend, and the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated ‘Les Pavots’, both of which come from the same single vineyard. Tasters will come to understand how terroir translates into taste in these two Bordeaux-inspired wines.

The Peter Michael Winery masterclass is set to be a fascinating retrospective tasting of wines, which will include the 2016 Les Pavots awarded 96 points and described as having ‘Electric and satisfying layers of rich tannins and fruit decorate the landscape’, by wine writer Eduardo Dingler. It will demonstrate the quality and ageability of these wines, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s best.
