New 138 Vintage Allocation Takes Center Stage
in the Santa Barbara Resort's World-Renowned Wine
Collection
SANTA
BARBARA, Calif., May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- San Ysidro Ranch, a Ty Warner Property famed
for award-winning dining, ultimate privacy and A-list discretion,
has procured one of the most sought-after wine allocations from
prominent Bordeaux estate Château
d'Yquem, inclusive of 138 vintages spanning from 1811 – 2008.
Hailed as the pinnacle of sweet wine, the Premier Cru Supérieur
Château d'Yquem collection features some of the greatest vintages
ever created in its almost 700-year history, including the 1811
"Comet Vintage," the most expensive white wine ever sold.
Regarded by many as the greatest sweet wine in the world,
Château d'Yquem's reputation is synonymous with that of San
Ysidro Ranch, known for unparalleled excellence. Nestled in the
hills of Sauternes, France, in the
southern region of Bordeaux, the
winery has consistently set the standard for dessert wine
worldwide. The estate's commitment to perfection is evident in its
meticulous grape selection. Only the finest botrytized Semillon and
Sauvignon Blanc grapes are chosen, resulting in a wine of
extraordinary complexity, richness and longevity. The
138-bottle collection at San Ysidro Ranch includes every vintage
from 1887 – 2008, along with select vintages dating back to 1811.
Each vintage has a special story to tell, and the 1811
Château d'Yquem is believed to have certain mythical qualities
due to an astronomical event before harvest that year. There are
less than 10 bottles of this wine in existence.
San Ysidro Ranch's impressive 14,000-bottle Wine
Spectator Grand Award-winning cellar represents one of the
world's most renowned restaurant wine collections. The new
allocation joins San Ysidro Ranch's existing 70-vintage vertical
collection of the Bordeaux estate
Château Petrus, the largest restaurant offering in the country. It
includes every vintage produced by Château Petrus dating from 1945
through 2017, including the famed 1947, 1959, 1961, 1964, 1982,
1990 and 2000 vintages. San Ysidro Ranch is now offering
exclusive wine tasting experiences guided by a team of esteemed
experts, including consultations, classes and guided wine
excursions. As part of San Ysidro Ranch's new Ty Warner Wine
Collective, a custom Château d'Yquem tasting experience begins at
$550 per guest and a custom Château
Petrus tasting experience begins at $2,500 per guest. The program also includes
one-on-one consultations, tastings and guided excursions where
guests enjoy special insider access to the region's best
wineries.
"We're proud to offer our guests access to the most coveted and
exclusive bottles of wine from Bordeaux and around the globe," said
Ty Warner, owner of San Ysidro
Ranch. "Our firm commitment to building upon our world-class wine
program that showcases boutique wineries, limited-production labels
and one-of-a-kind bottles sets us apart from any other restaurant
in the region."
The Château d'Yquem procurement is the latest in a series
of several enhancements to the San Ysidro Ranch's culinary program,
including the Secret Cellar epicurean experience—where guests can
enjoy a no-holds-bar exploration of the world's finest wines
complemented by a chef-driven pairing menu. Beyond wine, the new
Prohibition-era inspired Speakeasy at Plow & Angel invites
guests to imbibe in unique cocktails and ultra-rare spirits,
including the only bottle of Glenturret 50-Year-Old scotch and the
only restaurant offering of the Balvenie Chapter 4 Collection in
North America.
