Epoch Wines Pop Up Wine Dinner

Pop Up Wine Dinner

Thursday May 21, 2026

Join us for an incredible night of cellar aged wines from one of our favorite Paso Robles producers, Epoch Estate Wines.  Since 2010, the wines of Epoch have been crafted by an incredibly talented women winemaker, Jordan Fiorentini.  At the core of her winemaking philosophy is the goal to purely reflect the winegrowing site and vintage in her wines, which she achieves through organic and biodynamic farming practices and block-specific winegrowing and winemaking.

We’ve pulled a selection of bottles that have been in the RK cellar for optimal aging that are sure to show their best.  Chef Noelle has created a fantastic menu to highlight these wines with an expertly paired four course dinner experience.  This dinner will be hosted at a private residence in Venice, creating an intimate affair that is sure to impress. 

Created and hosted by John Fanaris, Certified Sommelier & Chef Noelle Fanaris.
