Exploring the Wines of Raul Perez

Jose is an avid collector of Raul Perez wines, while I'm a relative new-comer to his wines. That said, his wines are immediately enjoyable and approachable.

He is a visionary Spanish winemaker renowned for his innovative approach and deep commitment to expressing the unique terroirs of Spain. Hailing from Bierzo, he has elevated the region's indigenous Mencía grape to international acclaim while also producing exceptional wines across other regions like Rías Baixas and Ribeira Sacra.

We're excited to host this wine event at Stephen's new favourite Turkish Restaurant - Akdeniz. Check out their menu here: https://akdeniz46.com/new-york-midtown-manhattan-akdeniz-mediterranean-cuisine-food-menu

This will be a 8-person event and include 3 white wines, 1 rose, and 2 red wines,

NOTE: Meetup charges a "Partner Fee" that is above and in addition to the listed price of the event. It is annoying and confusing, but there is nothing I can do about it. It comes to approximately $3 more for each RSVP. You will see this charge when you complete your rsvp and pay for the event. Sorry!

Just a reminder of our usual rules:
* The cost of this event is $49 and is for the cost of the wines only. You will also have to pay the cost of your food (plus 33% for tax and tip). Please order at least two courses (i.e. a main dish and either appetizer or dessert) for your dinner.

Please use public transportation - NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!

Please read and understand the group's cancellation policy. If you take spot, then cancel, and no one else takes the spot, you will not receive a refund. No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows or late cancellations (unless someone else takes your spot). There is also a $4 service charge for cancellations.
