Princeton Corkscrew: Pain-Perdu Wine Tasting
Nov 9 @ 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Please join Princeton Corkscrew in welcoming back Fabien Castel, owner and winemaker of Pain-Perdu in Santa Barbara County, for an amazing California wine tasting.
Pain-Perdu translates to “lost bread” — referring to the dish that takes forgotten, or overlooked, stale bread and transforms it into a beautiful, delicious dessert — and Fabien Castel’s Pain-Perdu project is inspired by that dish. Pain-Perdu began in 2023 when Fabien partnered with three land stewards — three groups of like-minded and passionate wine professionals — with the ambition to explore Santa Barbara County’s untapped potential of terroir, original micro-climates and unique geologic influences. Fabien works with classic Burgundian varietals Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from three esteemed vineyard sites: Rancho San Julien in Santa Barbara County and Bentrock Vineyard, and Drum Canyon Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills.
This tasting is not-to-be-missed! Though Fabien has held previous wine-tastings at the Corkscrew, this visit will mark the first time he is showcasing his Pain-Perdu wines on the East Coast. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 9th from 1-6 pm for what is sure to be another fantastic tasting.
