Join us at our next wine pairing dinner for premier Napa Valley wines featuring Duckhorn Vineyards!
Duckhorn Vineyards, founded in Napa Valley, California in 1976, is renowned for its premium wines, particularly its Merlot. Established by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, the vineyard played a key role in popularizing Merlot in the United States, producing its first vintage in 1978. The winery focuses on crafting high-quality, Bordeaux-style wines with a strong commitment to sustainability and vineyard-specific production. Over the years, Duckhorn Vineyards has expanded its portfolio to include a range of varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay, becoming a respected cornerstone of Napa Valley winemaking.
Our guest speaker, Jeff Albright will guide us through our five course pairing dinner. Jeff has been a wine consultant and educator in Richmond for over 20 years. His appreciation of both domestic and international wines has led him to Europe, South America, and the west coast of the United States to experience their respective wines and food cultures. He feels that food and wine can create a greater sense of community and shares that passion with everyone he meets. Jeff will guide us through five excellent Napa Valley wines, thoughtfully paired with complementing chef-driven selections.
