The Rare Wine Co. Dinner featuring Mannie Berk and Doug Frost
A night unlike any we have done before. Please join us in welcoming Mannie Berk, founder of The Rare Wine Co. for a four-course Madeira-centric dinner. Arrival begins at 5:30p.m., we will sit down to dinner promptly at 6:00p.m.
The Rare Wine Co. is recognized as one of America’s premier wine merchants, in the dual roles of national importer and retailer. We represent more than thirty iconic producers exclusively for either California or the U.S. We also vigorously champion several dozen others whose wines and philosophy we deeply admire, and support our belief in them with an unparalleled library of wines dating back decades.
MANNIE BERK
After an earlier career in government in Chicago and Boston, and a few years writing and teaching about wine, Mannie Berk couldn’t resist the call of a vast quantity of old Madeira he found in London in 1987. Two years later he founded The Rare Wine Co. Since that time, he has made RWC America’s finest non-auction source for older wines, including Madeira, of which he is considered the country’s leading authority.
In 2011, he edited and co-authored the second edition of Noel Cossart’s Madeira, The Island Vineyard, which the International Cookbook Awards named the best book on European wines published in the United States that year. In 2002, he was named Food & Wine’s Best Wine Importer, and he is a three-time James Beard Award semi-finalist and two-time Wine Advocate Wine Personality of the Year.
