Dunn Vineyards needs no introduction.

The legendary Howell Mountain Estate, purchased by Randy and Lori Dunn in 1978, produces some of the most collectible, age-worthy, and important wines in Napa Valley. Today, a new generation of Dunns runs the winery, including Mike Dunn, who manages the overall operation and makes the wine. Mike has been involved with his family’s winery since 1999. He works 43 acres of Cabernet vineyards, ranging from 1,800-2,100 feet above sea level on the higher slopes of Howell Mountain.

Compline Wine Shop has procured an 18-wine vertical set of Dunn’s flagship estate Cabernet, ranging from 1991 to 2008—wines made by Randy and by his son Mike.

Join Mike Dunn and Assistant Winemaker Ted Kizor for an exclusive, guided tasting of the 1991-2008 vintages at Compline Wine Shop on Wednesday, August 9 from 6-8pm. 

This event is strictly limited to 16 guests.

The ticket price includes a tasting pour of all 18 wines and light snacks for the table.

Matt first met Chiara de Iulis Pepe back in 2012, when he visited the legendary Emidio Pepe estate in Abruzzo’s Teramo Hills. 

(For an account of that visit and more of Italy’s Adriatic Coast, click here.)

Emidio Pepe proved to the world that Montepulciano, Italy’s second-most planted red grape, could be considered world-class. He believes his wines, made without sulfur, each bottle hand-decanted by his wife before release, are among the best in Italy. Antonio Galloni’s Vinous deems Pepe’s wines “history in a bottle.”
