The Davids vs The Goliaths Wine Dinner
Please join us Friday, June 28th at 7pm
In collaboration with the Festival of Forgotten Grapes, we welcome Greg La Follette and Wes Hagen for a very special wine dinner we are calling:
6 COURSES | 10 WINES | $135 PER PERSON
The Davids vs The Goliaths
Who Are The Goliaths:
In California, 93% of the wine grapes planted consist of nine grapes. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah, and Zinfandel.
These are grapes we all know, and we love.
Who Are The Davids:
There are more than 100 grape varieties that make up the remaining 7% of plantings in California. These are not necessarily “unknown” grapes but rather “forgotten grapes” due to the limited availability.
