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!
