One of the world’s most famous wines, Margaux is a Left Bank Bordeaux from Medoc, and one of just five wines to be classified as Premier Cru, or First Growth, in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. Not to be outdone, rival casino resort Bellagio is offering a Chateau Margaux wine dinner with legendary gourmet chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Michael Mina, along with David Chang of Momofuku fame. The Bellagio will soon be host to a very special evening with Bordeaux legend Chateau Margaux. Opus One winemaker Michael Silacci will lead guests who attend the Saturday Master Class through a guided tasting of four specially chosen vintages accompanied by dishes from Wynn’s seafood specialty eatery Lakeside. Mizumi, the high-end Japanese eatery in Wynn, is one of the best sushi restaurants I have had the pleasure of eating at outside of Japan, and one unusual event is the “Improbable Pairings,” where three Opus One vintages will be paired with Mizumi Chef Min Kim’s signature Japanese dishes. The menu was created by Wynn’s vice president of Culinary Operations, James Beard Award winning chef Christopher Lee. The complete schedule is available online, but some highlights include a 5-course beef-centric “Nose-To-Tail” dinner Friday night with cuts paired with four rare vintages of Opus One, all served from large format Double Magnum bottles (3 liters).
The three-day gala runs April 28-30 and includes eight different events featuring the winery, from nightly dinners to Master Classes to pairings.
