Shiverick Wine Imports Wine Dinner
Thursday, February 26th @ 6 pm
John had the opportunity to sit down and taste over 15 wines with veteran importer David Shiverick last August. It was a fabulous afternoon where John found David’s palate to be a great match to his own, and as they tasted through his wines from France and Italy, John ended up ordering 12 of his wines for our wine list. Imagine that typically he might, at most, order 3. John loved these wines!
David started his importing business in the early 80’s, way ahead of practically everyone else. He knows his wine and he knows his winemakers/wineries, having worked with those wineries and winemakers for more than 40 years.
He will be joined by his daughter Hope who is his right-hand these days, and the evening promises great wines and great stories, all partnered with John’s inimitable food pairings. This will be a wonderful trip to France and Italy, featuring 6 different wines and 6 courses.
Food $65 per person. Wine $65 per person.

Red & White Snow Dinner
Benefitting the National Ability Center
Friday, March 6th @ 6 pm
We have donated this dinner annually for the last 7 years, partnering with Midway locals, Pierrette Tierney Magleby and Matthew Magleby, to present an elegant 6 course meal paired this year with Parallel Winery’s amazing wines.
John is being recognized this year as the Red White and Snow Honorary Chef. Parallel Wines was founded and is still owned by a group of passionate Parkites. Our passion for the National Ability Center comes from our recognition that this incredible place we live – so full of phenomenal outdoor activities – is made available to children and adults who might otherwise not be able to partake in all Utah has to offer. From horseback riding to skiing, from outdoor hikes to athletic adventures, the National Ability Center leads people OUT INTO OUR AMAZING OUTDOORS. Incredible!
The cost of the dinner is $550, completely tax deductible since among the Magleby’s and Midway Mercantile and Parallel Winery every bit of the event is donated.
Seating is limited. Sign up by choosing the section under Vintner Dinners Open to the Public and the name dinner under Pierrette Tierney Magleby. ​
Note, see above for instructions on how to ensure you reserve your spot properly. Please contact us directly if you need any assistance
A Taste From
Wine Dinners Past
Leo Steen Wine Dinner
Thursday, December 11th @ 6 pm
We feel so lucky to welcome back our good friend Leo Hansen for his THIRD wine dinner with us. Always a favorite who tells compelling stories to match his varied and compelling wines all sourced and made in the Sonoma Valley. A few years ago Leo welcomed John and friends to his winery and feted us with the most amazing lunch. The pressure has been on John ever since to match not just his wine but his culinary talents. John LOVES this opportunity! You can expect a very exciting and dynamic evening with Leo, along with his local representative Cam Mercer.​
5th Annual
Holiday Wine Dinner
Thursday, December 18th @ 6 pm
We love putting on a luxe dinner with our finest wine offerings and finest food offerings of the year. A great chance to celebrate the season and enjoy the best! We don’t have a winemaker joining us this year, but with local representatives/importers Cam Mercer, Brad Jensen, and Jimmy Kofoed, we will have true experts representing extraordinary wines. We will update this notice with the chosen wines as we move forward, but know these will be special bottles paired with special holiday fare.​
Annual Locals
Wine Dinner
Thursday, October 30th @ 6 pm
Every year we offer a lower cost wine dinner as a thank you to our loyal Locals who stick around during the off season. This year we welcome Cam Mercer of Mercer Beverage, Brad Jensen of Bon Vivant Imports, and Julia Dehring of Vine Lore, each presenting two wines available in-state that are especially delicious value wines.
Meanwhile John and his team will serve their usual magic in pairing foods to match each wine, presenting a 6 (or possibly 7) course dinner, each course paired with a different wine.​
Whiskey Dinner
Tuesday, October 7th @ 6 pm
We will feature High West The Prisoner’s Share, Booker’s, Buffalo Trace, Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea, Henry McKenna Bottled-in-Bond, and Willet.
This will be a deep dive into some incredible whiskey. John and his team will be cooking up delicious fare to match, with surely a southern twist to all this bourbon sourced from Kentucky.​

Red Hawk Wine Dinner
Tuesday, August 12, 6pm
We have carried the Redhawk Pinot Noir virtually from our start, loved the owner/winemaker and the fair price on a delicious pinot.
They recently sold to Tracy Rogers and Aaron Bell – Aaron was assistant winemaker at Domaine Drouhin for 15 years before purchasing Redhawk with Tracy this year. He has already changed the Redhawk game dramatically, adding new styles of wine and helping to make this very exciting wine dinner a reality.
We will enjoy pink sparkling wine, Pinot Gris, Riesling, our daily Pinot as well their old vine Pinot, and a Cab Franc blend. An amazing opportunity to hear Aaron’s stories from Domaine Drouhin as well as his and Tracy’s stories about starting their own venture and crafting these wines. Sign up quickly to grab your spot!
