Bottoms Up

Another not-to-be-missed winemaker’s dinner on June 6. This time, with Karl Wente, the young, fifth-generation winemaker over at Wente who made that Nth Degree stuff that’s doing so well. Karl will be leading the dinner — we’ve heard he’s quite well-versed in vineyard management, so we’re pretty excited. The menu helps too: Starts with a reception at 7 p.m. of ratatouille and spicy rock shrimp. Dinner begins at 7:30 p.m. with chilled melon soup, pan-seared halibut with risotto and a buttermilk vanila bean panna cotta for dessert. Respective wines to be featured include reserve chardonnay, reisling, reserve pinot noir and reserve zinfandel. Tickets are $85 and can be purchased by calling Rachel at 925-952-2639. See you there!
