On Saturday, March 7, the Beaver Creek Chophouse hosts Mountain Magic - The Elevated Cabernets of Napa's Mount Veeder Appellation Wine Tasting at 3 p.m. The best and most highly-valued wines come from hillside vineyards. Although yields are a fraction of what can be produced on the valley floor, hillsides provide better sun exposure, better air circulation, and better drainage.

This focused seminar will examine the phenomenon that is Mt. Veeder, one of Napa’s most elite sub-appellations. The Cabernet Sauvignons grown here are among the most admired cult wines of California.

Along with the wine tasting, the Beaver Creek Chophouse will pair wines with their featured cuisine. The Paso Mountain Magic Wine Tasting is $20 per person and reservations should be made by calling 970-845-5974 or email kdeighan@vailresorts.com.
