Wednesday, September 18 - Grand Cru Selections Wine Dinner
Grand Cru Selections is a prominent wine importer and distributor based in New York City. Their wines are offered in a number of U.S. markets, and now for the first time - Utah! The company was founded by three friends, Ned Benedict, Robert Bohr, and Roy Welland, who combined their expertise in the wine industry to create a well-regarded portfolio of wines.
They focus on importing high-quality wines from passionate, often smaller-scale producers. Their portfolio includes a range of wines from renowned regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhône Valley, as well as selected producers from other parts of the world.
Jay Latham, from Grand Cru Selections, and Maggie Heile of Vin 7000 will join us to share these fantastic wines. And those who attend the dinner (6 wines, 6 courses) will be the first people in Utah to experience them!
$170 per person including tax and gratuity.

A Taste From
Wine Dinners Past
Wednesday, August 21 - Hot Summer Night Tequila Dinner
We will sip it, shake it, cool it, and explode it on Wednesday, August 21 when we unleash a potent night of tequilas paired with tequila friendly fare. Our friend Graham Decker will be our guide, the same Graham who led us through our Bourbon Dinner a few months ago, and he promises innovative and fun ways to put the tequila down the hatch. John and his team will create pairings that fit the mood of fun, festive, naughty, and nice. We hope you have the date free to join us. We will be on the patio and we are guessing this one will fill up fast.
Wednesday, July 24 - Donelan Family Wine Dinner
Finally, you will have an opportunity to meet a new winery to Utah, Donelan Family Wines, out of Santa Rosa. Read more about them here! With wines that have scored perfect 100 scores along with 98’s and 99’s, they are coming into the Utah market with a bang. I was blown away in my tastings with them, and they are notable for their broad range of white varietals and a focus on Syrah for their reds. I have long aspired to their profile - brawn, finesse, and originality! Have not garnered a 100 point score yet myself.
Sunday, June 23 - Ronsel do Sil Wine Dinner
Fate brings a second Spanish wine dinner our way. In this case, Enriqueta Yravedra, whose family lives in a small town in northwest Spain, where they live alongside a gorgeous river and grow native grapes - most of which we have never heard of before - and make astonishingly flavorful wines. Read an intriguing paragraph about Ronsel do Sil winery here.
And the even more real hook is that Enriqueta is a concert pianist and professor of piano in NYC, and she will be playing a concert while also taking us through her family’s wines, all the while John and his team will be cooking course after course of dynamic pairings. This one has a higher price tag to compensate our entertainer along with our usual wine and food pairings. We expect a 4+ hour evening with an early start at 5 pm.
Honestly, I think you will want to attend both Spanish dinners!
