Winemaker Dinner: Fifty Years Of Mt. Eden
$500 per person non-inclusive of tax and gratuity
We’re very pleased to announce our upcoming dinner with Mount Eden Vineyards winemaker Reid Patterson. Across half a century, the dinner lineup will focus on a terroir and style demonstrating the ageability of California wines as carefully and persausively as any.
Many of the older vintages we’ll be pouring come directly from the winery’s cellar, bottles stored and undisturbed since release. The result will be a uniquely clear view into how these wines evolve over decades.
Across Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon, we’ll move from the 1970s through particularly strong recent vintages, with Reid guiding the evening and offering context throughout.
The dinner culminates with a 1974 side-by-side - Pinot Noir and Cabernet - showcasing perhaps the most legendary vintage inside its half-century.
The wines will be complimented (as always!) by a menu centered on poultry, with dishes shaped closely around what’s coming in locally and at its peak.
