Space Park Enology Club Presents

A Napa Valley Premium Winery: Winery with Direct to Consumer Sales Mgr, Phillip Seed Friday, February 16th, 2018 @ 7:30 pm

On February 16th, the NGC Space Park Enology Club is honored to host a rare and very special winery tasting event with Grgich Hills Estate Winery.

Croatian‐born Miljenko “Mike” Grgich’s first international recognition came at the celebrated 1976 “Paris Tasting”. In that historic blind tasting, a panel of French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of fabled French white Burgundies and samples of upstart Chardonnays from Napa Valley. The scores were tallied and shocked those French judges: they chose, as the world’s finest white wine, the 1973 crafted by .

Grgich Hills Estate was founded by and remains a partnership of Mike Grgich and Austin Hills of the Hills Brothers Coffee family. The winery was given its fitting birth on Independence Day, 1977. Austin owned premium in Napa Valley’s Rutherford District and, coupled with his extensive background in business, he put the winery on its financial feet. Mike, with his fierce commitment to making wines of the highest quality, began producing what immediately became a signature wine: the exquisite, richly complex and beautifully award‐winning Chardonnays delighting wine lovers across America and throughout the world.

Phillip Seed, Grgich Hills’ DTC Sales Manager will lead our tasting on the 16th of February featuring Chardonnay, and selections from the Grgich Hills’ Napa Valley label, Miljenko’s Selection and Legacy Old Vines labels.

A premium winery located in the heart of Napa Valley, many of tonight’s wines have retail prices from $50 to $100. Their Legacy Old Vines wines retail prices start at $90. This will be a truly special and unforgettable evening in our Enology Club’s remarkable history.
