Here’s a chance to taste every Grange Hermitage ever made.

Grange Hermitage? What’s a Grange Hermitage? Just the most acclaimed Australian red wine, that’s all, produced mainly from Shiraz grapes by Penfolds, which happens to celebrate its 150th anniversary as a wine company this year. Los Angeles plastic surgeon and wine collector Richard Fleming is staging a tasting of every vintage from the first (1955) through 1989 at luncheons on Oct. 8 and 9 at Spago and Patina restaurants in Los Angeles.

However, though Fleming has at least three bottles of most vintages, he has only one of the ‘58, so he’s willing to give up a seat at the luncheons to anybody who can come up with a perfectly stored bottle of that vintage. Cost of the two-day, invitation-only event, which features commentary by chief Penfolds winemaker John Duval: $875--or a ’58 Grange Hermitage. If you’ve got a bottle, contact Carl Jaeger at Penfolds, (408) 655-4848.
