The evening starts at Williams Hall with a short blind tasting led by our sommelier, Daniel McCurdy. It's a sampling of the wines being poured this evening, tasted before you know what's in the glass. Then sit down to a three-course dinner served with paired wines. After dinner, take a short walk to the Tropic Cinema for an 8:15 PM screening of Burgundy.
The film is a new documentary from Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw, who also made The Truffle Hunters. It's set on a 160-year-old family vineyard in Burgundy, France. An aging patriarch is handing the estate to a grandson who has very different plans for it. It's a close look at a way of life and at what one generation passes on to the next.
The menu borrows from the forest floor and the wine cellar:
Pickled Mushroom Salad with Butternut Squash Confit
Mutton Snapper with Mushroom Strudel and Salsa Verde
Burgundy Red Wine Poached Pear with Candy Cap Mushroom Crème Anglaise and Almond Praline
6:00 PM - Blind tasting and dinner at Williams Hall
