Join us as we explore the wines of Winderlea, a boutique wine grower in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. We’ll be joined for dinner by founder William Sweat and local distributor Paolo Cerruti.

 

Known for impeccable quality, and master site selection, 11 of Winderlea's 2016 Pinot Noir bottlings just receive 91-94 points in a recent trade publication. If you have not tried their wines - the time is now!

 

We will explore five of their beautiful wines coming from multiple highly-regarded vineyard sites, all perfectly paired by Chef Masato’s exciting genre-bending five-course menu. Don't miss it!
