Few things in life compare to a
great glass of wine paired with
the perfect dish. However, not
everyone who enjoys wine is a
connoisseur. Usually casual wine drinkers
simply know what type of wine they like:
Merlot, Cabernet, Riesling, Chardonnay
– but they don’t know why and often are
afraid to step outside the comfort zone.
Luckily for everyone who falls into this
category there is a local wine enthusiast
who helps to not only select wines
for your special occasions: weddings,
corporate gatherings, etc; but also
provides you with a personalized wine
tasting experience in many of California’s
distinct wineries. Lynn Marie Kremers
operates LMK Wine Concierge Services
from her quaint office in the McCarran
Mansion. A planner by nature, Lynn
Marie enjoys helping people learn about
wine by organizing spectacular “wine-
cations” to Northern California Wineries.
When you hire LMK, be prepared to
experience wine tasting like never before.
Everything from lodging, to private tours
and tastings, to restaurant reservations, as
well as other non-wine tasting activities
such as golfing, fishing, and spa visits
will be arranged by LMK. Whether you
are a seasoned wine-country enthusiast
or are looking for your first experience
in the vineyard you are sure to have an
extraordinary adventure when you work
with LMK.
For those who love great wine and are
looking to experience something truly
different, LMK who is also an ambassador
for Rarecat wines, is able to introduce
you to this exclusive Napa winery which
is home to some of the most remarkable
wines. The name “Rarecat” refers to
an elusive one-of-a-kind creature who
touches others in a quiet way. The winery
experience and the wines follow suit to
this definition. For example, the Audrey
Club, Rarecat’s wine club, is inspired by
Audrey Hepburn. Her grace, elegance,
charm, and generosity made her a rare
beauty. Membership to the Audrey
Club begins with the purchase of a case
of Rarecat Cabernet Sauvignon and
privileges include invitations to private
events in winery owner’s home in St.
Helena as well as special pricing for visits
to Chateau de Amis in St. Emilion. The
proprietor, Sharon Kazan Harris believes
that the true importance of wine is not
only the beauty one finds in the glass but
the conversations and friendships one
develops while sharing something special.
So, go on, pour yourself a glass and
consider the new adventures you can have
exploring some gorgeous vineyards not
too far from home.
Cheers!
