Let's Have Dinner!

Sharing the evening is fun :)

I love Winemaker Dinners. The menu is created with the intent that each dish is served with a specific wine. Pairings are always changing, based on chef’s ideas and inspiration, the season, and the wines selected. It ensures a fantastic culinary experience!

But the reason I find them really special is they are an occasion to bring people together around food and wine. Strangers at the beginning of the evening end up dining in shared conversation. DuBrul Vineyard and Côte Bonneville are topics and also springboards for discussion on viticulture, enology, travel, language, science, culture, and literature, among other things. Every dinner, the guests who come bring questions, insights, and camaraderie that are fresh and engaging.

Sharing these experiences with interesting people is a privilege as a winemaker. I’m looking forward to a plethora of great evenings around the Pacific Northwest in the next few months. I can’t wait to see who will be there!
