The Wine Dinner: A Multi-Course Chef's Tasting Experience
Event Information
Description
This glorious event will be the culmination of the “Sparkling Season” and will serve as the grand-finale for The Firehouse Restaurant and their partners in bubbly, Napa’s own SCHRAMSBERG VINEYARDS and CHÂTEAU DE BLIGNY of Champagne, France.
This very special event will be limited to very few tickets and will include a multi-course wine dinner led by Chef Jay Veregge and Wine Director Mario Ortiz for an experience like none other. Tickets will also include free valet parking. In addition to the set menu below, which will be served after a luxuriant welcome social, the evening will be an intimate experience with the producers of the wines and cuisine.
Discussions led by Mario and the wine producers will cover every aspect of the production process and flavor profiles. Chef Jay will provide a detailed explaination on the steps he has taken in pairing this special menu with these wines, as well as other bites and more which we will be keeping a secret until the night of.
