15 Vertical Chateau Leoville Poyferre dinner organized by the one and only Panos Kakaviatos and hosted at Le Cafe Descartes at the Ambassade de France in DC. Co-owner, Sara Cuveller, who had only arrived 2 hours earlier from France, was a most gracious educator of her wines as she took us through LP’s philosophy and approach and background on each wines growing season. Champagne to get us started then: 1990, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015. — 8 hours ago
