These are the qualities I constantly try to capture in my wines. The ultimate goal is to create wines that are seamless and textural with enough structure and balance to complement fine cuisine.”

The menu for Thursday, March 28 will begin with Tuna Crudo, then onto the First Course of Coquilles Saint-Jacques paired with 2021 “Le Souvenir” Chardonnay, followed by the Second Course of Bone Marrow Tartare paired with 2021 “Stand By Me” Pinot Noir, the Third Course is a Veal Ossobuco paired with 2021 Syrah “II Padrino”, and wrapping up the Four Course dinner with Ricotta and Chocolate Tart.
