The Capital Grille

2011 Artist Series Wine Event

Share Our Strength and The Capital Grille have a long history of working together to end childhood hunger in America. To date, The Capital Grille has raised nearly $1,000,000 to fight childhood hunger.

This year, The Capital Grille is supporting Share Our Strength through the Third Annual Artist Series Wine Event.

Beginning March 19, this annual event will give The Capital Grille guests a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience an exclusive, limited-edition wine adorned with a unique piece of original artwork as its label while supporting Share Our Strength. The nationally renowned fine-dining restaurant, known for its dry aged, hand-carved steaks, fresh seafood and award-winning wine list, will once again donate $25 of the purchase price to Share Our Strength® for every limited-edition bottle sold.

The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet was hand-crafted at Napa Valley's Freemark Abbey Winery by Ted Edwards in collaboration with The Capital Grille's own George Miliotes, one of only 186 Master Sommeliers in the world. Fewer than 1,000 cases of this unique wine, blended solely for The Capital Grille, have been produced.  This year's wine is a full-bodied 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, produced from grapes grown in Napa Valley's finest Appellations including Rutherford's Bosché. The wine has layers of black cherry, black currant, plum, vanilla and dark chocolate with an underlying complexity of tobacco and leather.

To match the work of art inside the bottle, The Capital Grille invited artists and wine lovers to submit original art for the bottle's label during a competition held last fall. The winning painting, Complexity, by Missouri-based artist Julie Agee, was chosen for the way the vibrant colors and abstract lines perfectly complement the robust flavors and subtle undertones of the wine.  The artwork will appear on every individually numbered bottle of The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon.

To purchase a bottle of this exquisite wine and support Share Our Strength, contact The Capital Grille to make a reservation near you.
