A Taste for Life 2007
WineCommune is pleased to
announce our seventh annual “A Taste for Life” on Event Now in its seventh year, 'A Taste For Life' has always been a great success.
To commemorate this milestone, we have decided that it’s time to change it up a bit with an informal, end of year affair.
We will still be faithful to our coveted wines, but our hearts will stray from the format. One thing we will not compromise is the caliber of wines we will be drinking.
In keeping with our mission of “the most coveted wines” this must be a B.Y.O.B. of a higher caliber. No cooking sherry
or Grandpa Sven’s Beet Wine. We are asking for first growths, grand crus and cults du monde. In prior ‘Taste’ events,
your table served 8 world class wines. This year, you will sample 50. So, please honor the tradition by bringing your best. How it
Began In 2001, founding WineCommune
members Shaun and Julie Bishop began ‘A Taste for Life’ to bring their
members together to honor a shared love of fine wine in a unique format:
verticals and medleys of the world’s top-rated wines at different
“themed” tables, each poured and guided by a sommelier. After seven years and
counting, ‘Taste’ ranks among the most exclusive wine tasting benefits anywhere
attracting some of the most sophisticated pallets from around the globe. This year will be no different in that respect. A Taste for Life Steering Committee Founding Co-Chairs Shaun and Julie

Acquerello, The 50 seat dining room is softly illuminated with light from polished
brass lamps which dances off an extensive collection of crystal decanters and a large floral bouquet greeting guests as they enter. Co-owners Giancarlo Paterlini and Suzette Gresham-Tognetti work together to
provide an unparallel Italian dining experience. Acquerello has received countless awards, including a Michelin star in the first-ever
2007 Bay Area guide.
