Trinchero Winemaker Dinner – Tuesday, August 10th
On Tuesday, August 10, Leon Bistro will host a superlative winemaker’s dinner with Trinchero Family Estates, Napa Valley. We will taste seven of Trinchero’s finest wines, each of which will be expertly and imaginatively paired with a food course by our chef Ann Leon.
Trinchero is renowned for its high-quality, hand-crafted wines that have the distinctive tastes and aromas of the estates on which the grapes are grown. This month we are tasting many of their wines to pick the ones we will pair with our cuisine. Even though we haven’t made all the final selections we can tell you that they will include Trinchero’s Central Park West Cabernet Sauvignon, which is one of our great favorites and a staple of our wine list. Also in the must-serve category is their Joel Grott Chardonnay and Zinfandel, two really excellent wines that we offer at the restaurant. Among the new ones we are tasting are the Terra d’Oro Barberra, Pinot Grigio and Port. We assure you that it will be an evening of wine and culinary delight. Sorry, we can’t give you the menu in advance, but to whet your appetite, we can give you the menu that we served at the Hess winemaker dinner in June. It is printed below.
The price of our dinner is $100/person, which includes the tax, but not the tip.
The dinner is from 6-9 pm, by reservation only. We ask you to reserve as soon as possible.
