Scopo Divino: Winemaker Dinner with Gamba

Tuesday, May 6th with Two Seatings: 5:30pm & 8:00pm

"Gus" & The Winery

This March Scopo Divino returns to its roots with a winemaker dinner showcasing owner/winemaker Agostino "Gus" Gamba, with one of the most sought after Zinfandels in Sonoma County. We will be experiencing his exceptional wines from a family heritage with more than seven generations of winegrape growing. Gamba Vineyards & Winery is located in the Russian River Valley in Windsor. The family manages all aspects of the winery, and has their own proprietary Zinfandel clone. They have a limited production and have garnered a multitude of praise, scores, awards, & accolades, including Robert Parker Jr. (Wine Advocate), "Among the best..." Serving something of this caliber is a rare treat you will not want to miss.

We are proud to present four of their wines with the assistance of Gus Gamba himself. He will talk directly about their wines in person during your three-course meal. He'll tell us about the beautiful location of the winery, it's history, and walk us through the amazing selection we will be pouring.

The Event

This will be a Three Course Tasting Meal with Wines Paired for each course, and will include the opportunity to meet and engage with Agostino Gamba. As guests at the dinner you will also have access to special reserve one-night-only pricing on bottles of the wines to go.

There will of course be vegetarian options, and all courses will go so well with these wines, it will really help you all understand the wine better. (See full menu details below)

The first seating will be at 5:30pm, the second at 8:00pm. We ask that guests for the second seating not show prior to 7:45pm as we have limited room.
