Wednesday December 6, 2017 7:00 pm
Friends’ enjoying the moments and experiences of tasting fine wine is how our story began.
Individual experiences combining a collective goal to produce world class wines that are defined by power and grace.
PATINÉ (pa-tee-nay) means to have skated in French; an act that requires both power and grace. Jim’s career as a professional hockey player was defined by the game that requires strength, endurance, structure, balance, elegance and skill. It is not a surprise that these are the ...
Gamble Family Vineyards Winemaker Dinner October 25, 2017
Dinner with the Winemaker: An intimate evening of exploration and discovery
featuring: Tom Gamble, Owner/Farmer
Wednesday October 25, 2017 7:00 pm
My (ad)venture in wine seems to me to be a natural progression of history. As a third generation Napa farmer, I have been influenced all my life by my forebears' lives in agriculture. They have left, as part of their legacy, their deep and abiding affinity for the land from which came not only their livelihood, but also a life full of purpose. I am hopeful I can transfer that way of life to yet another generation.
Given this legacy, one does not continue farming for dispassionate ...

Mauritson Winemaker Dinner, March 29, 2017
A Passion for Winemaking
Winemaking may have been the logical evolution in our family’s long history of farming in the Dry Creek Valley, however, it took an absence from the valley and attention to those inner voices that led Clay Mauritson back to these same vineyards that he spent planting, tending and picking as a teen. What he came to realize was that he already had a lifetime of understanding about the subtleties and strengths of each micro-climate within the Dry Creek, Rockpile and Alexander Valleys. The only thing left was to DREAM BIG!
The Lineup!

Avocado Tartar, Capers, Bacon Lardon, Wonton Crisps

The 14 Most Delicious Mac and Cheese Dishes in L.A. Right Now – LA Magazine – February 7, 2017
The 14 Most Delicious Mac and Cheese Dishes in L.A. Right Now
Though the best version of M&C is almost always made inside a house, these are all hauntingly delicious in their own right.
February 7, 2017 Audie Metcalf Ruyle
Mac & Cheese gets a bad rap. Too many basic ingredients (cough, Panko), and it doesn’t stand out among the 89,765 other versions in L.A. And yet, too many truffley lobstery things in it, and True Foodies clutch their pearls in horror. Get juuuuust enough trend mixed with the creamy butteriness required for maximum pleasure, and you have yourself a winner. Or in this case, 14 winners.
