Vertical Tasting with Shelly Rafanelli from A. Rafanelli

Starting a limited run of deep vertical tastings from local wineries at The Friend at Maison Healdsburg, we're so excited to welcome Shelly Rafanelli Fehlman from the iconic A. Rafanelli winery. The family has been farming in Dry Creek Valley for generations, and we’re excited to honor their legacy by pouring a deep lineup of their beautiful cabernet and zinfandel with bottles going back to 1988. It's long been our stance that not only can zinfandel age incredibly well, but also that Rafanelli wines in particular strongly disprove the myth that zin needs to be drank young. Rafanelli is a small, family run, and mostly allocation only, so a lineup like this doesn’t come around often. The bottles are being offered from a meticulous collector's family from the south peninsula, and there will be a limited amount of each vintage for sale. Only 12 seats available, so grab your tickets quickly. 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon 1988 Zinfandel 1989 Zinfandel 1995 Zinfandel 1999 Zinfandel 2001 Zinfandel 2002 Zinfandel 2004 Zinfandel 2005 Zinfandel (Wines subject to change) Tickets - $145 plus tax - wine and gratuity are included.
