Join Us for The Battle of the Pichons!  Overlooking a spectacular view of the San Diego skyline and harbor we welcome our group of candidate-Commandeurs with an equally spectacular array of Bordeaux.  We will compare multiple vintages from the historic Pauillac neighbors, Le Château Pichon-Longueville Baron and Le Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. 

"That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly." -Thomas Paine

Therefore, our Class of 2023 Inductees will have one final hurdle to pass on this memorable evening, as Grand Maître Eric Vogt poses the final quiz in the form of a number of Bordeaux-specific questions to the candidates. 

Black Tie attire and Commanderie medallions with ribbons. Festive and creative Black Tie welcomed; both long gowns or short as well as cocktail slacks suits are suitable for the Ladies, who always look fabulous.

Please arrive at 6:00 pm for a brief Champagne reception. We will commence the ceremony for "The Class of 2023" promptly at 6:25 pm. 

Cost: $275 for Commandeurs; $330 for Guests
