2/21 Vieux Télégraphe Tastemaker Dinner
February 21, 2025 06:30 PM until February 21, 2025

The Story Behind the Tastemaker Series
The greatest, most memorable wine tastings are the ones where the winemaker invites you into their home, lays out a spread of food, opens up bottles, and tells you their story. It is intimate, illuminating, and unforgettable.
Our Tastemaker Dinner series aims to recreate that same feeling. We set our private dining room up so that there are no more than 12 gathered around a table, including the winemaker. Our chefs write the menu with the terroir of the region in mind (if it grows together, it goes together), and all are transported for a night of stellar wine drinking.
Vieux Télégraphe
Nicolas Brunier, CEO of Vieux Télégraphe, carries forward his family’s legacy as one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most renowned producers.
Drawn to the magic of winemaking from a young age, Nicolas immersed himself in the craft by shadowing his father and uncle in the winery and vineyards. He honed his expertise through studies at Agronomy and Viticultural Engineering School and earned a degree in Enology from the University of Bordeaux. Taking charge of the vineyards in 2011, Nicolas navigated a series of challenging yet rewarding vintages.
In 2023, he transitioned to overseeing the cellar and sales, bringing his wealth of experience to his current role as CEO, where he continues to shape the future of Vieux Télégraphe with vision and passion.
Don’t miss this rare and intimate opportunity to dine with Nicolas, hear his stories, and savor his exceptional wines.
