Whiskey Dinner

Our local expert Matt Magleby, who moonlights as a master construction dude owning Masterpiece Trade Services, will host our evening exploring unique and expressive whiskeys from all over the world, with a focus on bourbon.
Matt has a personal collection of over 300 different whiskeys in his private lair, and a visit with Matt to taste and talk whiskey is unforgettable. John and his team will match those whiskeys with dynamic food pairings, including some smoked goodies from our sous chef/pitmaster Les.
An adventure including cocktails and straight sipping, you will leave even more excited about whiskey and the broad range of flavors it embodies, and a happily full stomach to boot. Six to seven courses to complement the liquor.

Covenant Wine Dinner
Tuesday, June 17th, 6pm
We are thrilled to welcome back Jeff Morgan, owner and founding winemaker of Covenant Winery, accompanied by our great friend and wine savant Maggie Heile. We will enjoy a terrific range of wines, including Blanc de Blanc bubbles, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Cabernet, and their Israel Syrah. While we enjoy an early summer evening on our patio, Jeff will tell great tales and present even greater wines. John will, as always, work hard to create unique and dynamic food pairings for each wine. Jeff is a passionate person with a compelling philosophy toward his wine endeavor:
​
The word “Covenant” connotes a strong connection between those who share a common history, experience and values. It is an age-old concept that serves as a foundation for all civilization.
​
Our shared cultural heritage and a love of fine wine led to the partnership that gave birth to Covenant Wines. We make wine in our urban, Berkeley winery from grapes grown in some of the finest vineyards in California and Israel, places where we enjoy a historical and personal connection to the land. As such, we strive to harness quality in the bottle that reflects the unique aspects of the land and the vines we are privileged to work with.
​
Dinner includes 6 courses and 6 wines.
$65 for wine, $60 for food, plus tax and gratuity, per person.

Parallel Wine Dinner
Sunday, July 20th, 6pm
Parallel Wines, a pioneering winery founded by a group of Park City friends many years ago, is known for their exceptional taste and style. As well they are renowned for their Utah spirit that pervades everything about their wines. We are honored to welcome General Manger and Partner Adrienne Smith to taste us through these incredible wines. We will enjoy current releases of their Rose, Chardonnay and Cabernet, along with a vintage delight from their portfolio. Nothing inexpensive about these amazing wines, the price for this dinner matches the value of these incomparable juices. We love this description of Parallel Winery and their founders:
​
The Parallel Napa Valley label embodies the exhilarating essence of fresh tracks carved by skis on the season's first run. With over 40 years of friendship and shared adventures in Park City, Utah, the Founding Partners infused their rich history into every bottle. This label represents not just our 25 years of nurturing and harvesting grapes from the picturesque hillside vineyards of Napa Valley and the Russian River Valley, but also the deep connection we share with the land, each other and the community we have built in Park City and Napa Valley. As we reflect on our journey, we look forward to the new memories yet to come. ​

Dinner includes 5 courses and 4 wines
$100 for wine, $55 for food, plus tax and gratuity, per person
