Gourmet Wine Dinner Wednesday, January 6 th 6:30 p.m. Main Dining Room FeaturingVias Imports with a great Italian Portfolio Vias Imports Ltd. provides its clients with access to themost comprehensive Italian wine portfolio by offering fine Italian wines that embody the distinct terrain and character of each Italian region. Particular attention is paid in the portfolio to the vast array of indigenous varietals found in the Italian peninsula, a rich patrimony that no other winemaking nation can claim. Founded in 1983, Vias Imports was born out of the great friendship between Fabrizio Pedrolli, Pino Sola and Louis Iacucci, a pioneer in Italian wine who was instrumental in bringing the diversity of refined, regional ¬Italian wines to the United States. Their portfolio is a labor of love. It is a careful selection of Italian

producers that reflects the vast diversity of Italy’s regions and the native varietals that call them home. OnWednesday, January 6 th we are proud to have Alberto Prealoni, the Florida representative for Vias wines to present some of the prestigious Italian wines of theVias portfolio. Alberto was born in the Piedmont region of Italy where his family still lives, and growing up in Romagnano Sesia, allowed him to naturally absorb the food and wine culture that is so engrained in that charming part of Italy.

Skype Dinner with the Winemaker Wednesday, January 13 th 6:00 p.m. at the Beach Club Featuring Chappellet Vineyards Recently Phillip Titus the winemaker for Chappellet Vineyards released a 2012 Prichard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon that Robert Parker Rated 99+pts and said, “This is a compelling wine with profound depth and flavor, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a velvety integration of tannin, acidity and wood. Pushing perfection in Cabernet Sauvignon, this multidimensional, skyscraper-like offering has all the intensity one expects, but it never comes across as heavy.This gives it an ethereal character that is nearly impossible to articulate, but genius is often hard to explain. It is clearly a major superstar of a great vintage.” In addition the Wine Spectator recently placed the 2012 Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon at #65 on this year’s top 100. PhilipTitus will join us via skype who with his brother Eric have their own family vineyard a fewmiles down the road fromChappellet andmake well balanced robust reds. Chef Ernesto of the BeachClub will complement the wines fromTitusVineyards that evening with a four courseGourmet Dinner that will be elegant and tantalizing.
