Join us for a holiday wine dinner on Tuesday, December 16, at 6:30 p.m. with Chef Lance White and Johnson Brothers Famous Brands!

Wines featured at the event include:

Migration Chardonnay

This vibrant and sophisticated Chardonnay combines white flower aromatics with enticing lemon custard and stone fruit flavors.

Golden Eye Pinot Noir

On the palate, a plush, dense mouth feel supports lush flavors of raspberry and blackberry, as well as hints of licorice and red apple skin.  Oak-derived notes of clove, brown sugar and vanilla pave the way to a supple finish hinting at sweet leather and loamy earth.

Decoy Zinfandel

On the palate, flavors of ripe berry and bramble mingle with hints of Christmas spices and mocha with polished tannins and lingering acidity adding to a long, satisfying finish.

Duckhorn Merlot

Aromas of pomegranate, marionberry, currant jelly, pencil shavings and rose petals.  The pomegranate notes continue on the palate alongside flavors of Rainier cherry, wild red berries and molasses.

Canvasback Cabernet

While the entry is rich and juicy, the wine reveals its full structure and intensity on the mid-palate, where firm, fine-grained tannins support layers of lush fruit and earth, as well as notes of savory herbs and exotic spices. 

Cost is $30 and pre-registration is required.  To register, or for more information, stop by wine & spirits or call at 605-361-0313.
