Avize · 956 Brady Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
We’ll be tasting through a vertical of Château Rayas from 1997–2014.
A quick note on Rayas:
It’s one of the most revered producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, though stylistically it stands apart. Made from 100% Grenache grown in sandy soils, the wines are known for their aromatic lift, fine texture, and a more restrained, elegant profile than is typical for the region.
Production is extremely limited, and the wines are highly sought after for their ability to age with nuance and precision.
The Evening:
The dinner will take place at Avize, where a multi-course menu rooted in alpine cuisine will be paired alongside the wines.
The style of cooking, with its focus on purity, texture, and subtle richness, aligns naturally with Rayas’ more lifted, expressive character. The progression of dishes and vintages is designed to show how both evolve over time.
What to Expect:
A guided vertical tasting of Château Rayas from 1997–2014
A multi-course dinner at Avize
An intimate setting designed for thoughtful tasting and conversation
This is a rare opportunity to experience Rayas in depth, in the setting where it makes the most sense—at the table.
