Paul Hobbs Wine Dinner

Paul Hobbs Wine Dinner 

Wednesday- January 31, 2018

Tasting: 5:30 - 6:45 - Dinner 7 PM

 

In 1992, we didn't realize that our new friend, Paul Hobbs, would go on to become one of the most important winemakers in the world,
but he did.

 

If you don't know Paul, you should.  His wines from California and Argentina and now New York and France are extraordinary. Paul is one of the most sought-after winemakers on three continents.  He's one of the smartest guys in the business and we are proud to say that we have been supporters and friends since he and we started our businesses at roughly the same time. We were the first restaurant on the East Coast to serve Paul's wine and we remain the only venue where Paul hosts a dinner every year.

January will mark our 27th Paul Hobbs Dinner.  We will drink back-vintages that have had some time to rest in our cellar and taste the new releases at the tasting before.We will even open a rare (in fact one-of-a-kind) 9-Liter bottle of Paul Hobbs 'Stage Left Cuvee' Cabernet Sauvignon: a single barrel that Paul  made for us 21 years ago! This is simply a priceless bottle. We will drink it with dinner.  

Paul has said that our tasting is the greatest single tasting opportunity of Hobbs wines each year. Part of the reason is that it is supplemented by our own deep collection of Hobbs wine.

Please reserve a spot as this event will sell out. 
You can make a reservation and purchase a ticket or gift certificate
for that special wine-lover in your life.

Tolaini Wine Dinner

 

Tolaini Wine Dinner

January 12 - 7 PM

 

Lia Tolaini-Banville was a girl when she first visited Italy with her Italian-born father. Pier Luigi Tolaini, was born in Lucca, Tuscany. He immigrated to Canada as a young man, built a thriving transportation company, raised a family, and returned to Italy to establish the winery that bears his name.

She eased into the wine-making end of the business. After running a wine shop in Winnipeg, Canada, with her sister, Tina Jones, in 2004 Tolaini-Banville became head of Banville Wine Merchants, which imports Tolaini and other Italian wines. She also makes wine at her father's vineyard.

Tolaini make a delicious 100% Sangiovese Chianti and three Super-Tuscan blends. She will be here with her family's wines on January the 12th. We hope you can join us for dinner!  See article here.
