I almost went to this dinner but they couldn’t tell me the menu. Important as I have some food allergies. I also asked about what they were pouring and they could not answer that either. For nearly $600 a person, I needed to know. Looks like a great dinner though.

x good year to be obsessed about...standout wines of the night were the 91 Volcanic Hill and the 2001 Gravelly Meadows. Really wanted to like the 1990 Lake(I have not tried Lake before), but it seemed a little light with a sharp finish. The 91 Volcanic Hill was singing with expressive notes of dark cherry, cedar, graphite, peppery and a nice long finish.

x too bad, it would have been nice to meet you. They had a nice group of people at the event with plenty of pours of wine. Hope they had a late night party cause I'm sure the 20 of us did not finish a 1.5L,3L,5L,3L of wine. Cheers!

Like a lemon rolling around in the ocean. Meyer lemon, ocean water, slightly herbal and mineral. Paired excellently with wellfleet oysters. — 3 years ago

Dry dry dry and lovely. A little surprising at first at the dryness yet lacking tannins. Smooth and lovely. Honestly took me a few sips before I Ave started appreciating it but by sip 4 or 5 I realized I really enjoyed it. The grapes started to appear and share a pleasant sweet flavor that appeared around the dry blanket. Quite nice and definitely going to he a crowd pleaser for anyone who appreciates a good day white wine. — 4 years ago
