Lafon Vertical Dinner at Popina
A vertical tasting wine dinner at Popina in Brooklyn, featuring fifteen wines from Burgundy’s Lafon family across seven vintages.
About the event
Vertical tasting format
This is a vertical tasting wine dinner, a format built around tasting related wines across different vintages. Here, the focus is Burgundy’s Lafon family rather than a broader regional tasting or a mixed-producer lineup. The name of the event, the wine-dinner format, and the source description all point to a program centered on Lafon wines and vintage comparison.
The program is specific: fifteen wines from Burgundy’s Lafon family are presented across seven different vintages. That count is the main planning detail available for the wine side of the dinner, and it makes the vintage range the clearest organizing feature of the event.
Featured wine subject
The Lafon family is the named Burgundy focus of the dinner, and Domaine des Comtes Lafon is identified as a featured winery. The available details do not name individual bottles, appellations, producers beyond the Lafon reference, or the order of service, so the safest way to read the program is as a Lafon-centered Burgundy vertical built from fifteen wines and seven vintages.
Because the dinner is described as a wine dinner, the wine program is part of the meal format rather than a standalone tasting. No menu dishes, chef names, pairings, or seating details are available here, so the concrete program information remains the vertical tasting structure and the Lafon family Burgundy selection.
