2003
Kokkari Estiatorio, 220 Jackson Street, San Francisco
What could eclipse the unutterable hedonism of Aussie wines save for decadently
whiling away a summer Sunday eve reveling in the delights of Oz and the incandescent
culinary masterworks of Kokkari Estiatorio's prized chef? Join us as our vinous
octet from Down Under that spans the breadth and depth of Australian winemaking
distills the peculiar sort of lusty goodness only a blockbuster shiraz (or a
good lover) can administer.

Ristorante Savoia, 2355 Chestnut Street, San Francisco
Nestled in the Andes, the vineyards of Chile and Argentina touch the very heavens. Join us in a hedonistic exploration of the wines of Chile and Argentina, as chef Alfonso Veggetti's fiery kitchens provide sustenance for the journey through the rarified vineyards of South America.

7 pm Monday, 5 May 2003
Ristorante Savoia, 2355 Chestnut Street, San Francisco
Join us and a radiant multitude of Spanish wines from the sun-parched Iberian
Peninsula to while away a Monday evening as venerable tradition squares off
against an exuberant, internationalist modernity. Learn a bit while enjoying
yourself immensely. The talented Chef Alfonso Veggetti will pair re-envisioned
global tapas with our luscious Spanish troupe.

7 pm Wednesday, 26 March
2003
The Crimson Lounge @ Indigo,
687 McAllister Street, San Francisco
While the capacity of the French in world diplomacy is best left to late-night
hack comedians to pillory, their role in the voluptuary universe of wine endures
undisputed. From within the social tapestry of French wine culture, the history
of the Rhone Valley reads as if a Canal + rendition of VH-1's Behind the Music:
meteoric rises and Icarian tumbles, smuggling and adulteration, and of course,
Popes and altar-boys. Join us and a ravishing septet of tempting Rhone beauties
to while away a Wednesday evening with the sensual palate-caresses of iron fists
ensconced in velvet gloves. Charting a course down the Rhone river between indulgence
and discovery, learn a bit while enjoying yourself immensely, as delectable
fare from Indigo's kitchens will accompany our journey. And as ever, all our
wines this evening will be offered at an indiscreet discount for those in attendance.
An enormous 'merci beaucoup' to those who shared this evening with us.

Cal-Ital Showdown at the Crimson
Lounge
7pm Thursday, January 16, 2003 - The Crimson Lounge @ Indigo,
687 McAllister Street, San Francisco
Join us as 3 upstart California wineries with an Italian bent
go mano a mano against a quartet of New World style Italians. Can Californians
hew wines from Italian varietals that are as gratifyingly salacious without
the hot-tub? Can the Italians muster a response to the international call for
sexier wines and craft a wine with that sensual flair and inimitable panache
which is quintessentially Italiano? Can there possibly be a better way
to start a chill January evening than to be with us as we take equal measure
of indulgence and discovery? These truths will be revealed (although the answer
to #3 is "nothing that's legal in most states") along with superlative
creations from Indigo's fiery kitchens. All wines will be offered at a foolishly
good discount for those in attendance.
A hearty cheers to all of those in attendance that made this such a memorable
evening. For a list of the wines poured this evening, please click here.

Down Under at the Crimson Lounge
7pm Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - The Crimson Lounge @
Indigo, 687 McAllister Street, San Francisco
Six seductive Aussie wines paired with haute cuisine from Indigo's
kitchens are our guarantee for a Wednesday evening well spent. Our sextet from
Down Under span the breadth and depth of Australian winemaking and distill the
sort of lusty goodness which only a blockbuster shiraz (or a good lover) can
administer. Learn a little something, enjoy yourself immensely, and find that
singularly perfect bottle to grace your holiday dinner table. And since all
wines of the evening will be offered at a delectable discount, why not make
some of these your stocking stuffers of choice?
Our heartfelt thanks to all those who made this evening such a resounding
success . For a list of the wines poured this evening, please click here.
Cheers,
Anton Hicks & the Wine Counsel Staff
