If you don’t already have reservations, please join us another night for dinner or come in for brunch.
“PERSONAL FAVORITES”
Dinner will be a five course degustation featuring selected wines from many of our favorite suppliers. Each wine will be presented by the salespeople who have been with us for years. Fifteen years have flown by so fast. We have done more than 50 wine dinners over the years. So many cool people, so many fun evenings (so many hangovers!). Join us again. It will be a memorable and emotional two nights.
At this time the wines are still being selected. Check back for more details.
