Delicious Darioush Dinner

Wednesday, March 24
Reception: 6:00 / Dinner 6:30 Five Courses / Six Wines $95 per person++

Napa Valley has many wineries that represent the New Guard. These superstar operations that burst into Napa over the last decade breathed new life into The Valley with dynamic wines. When discussing these newcomers, one always seems to be at the head of the conversation: Darioush.

Darioush has brought the bold intensity that Napa wine lovers crave to the forefront of our palates. They have embraced the Napa Cab concept and expanded it to other exciting varietals not often seen as flagship wines for a premium winery. Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Merlot all receive "Reserve" treatment and it shows in their wine quality. One of our most popular wines is the Darioush Viognier which our customers love for its luscious intensity and vibrant fruit. These and other Darioush standouts will be available to enjoy, paired with dishes from The Brasserie.

Join Michael Powers, Epic Wines Product Specialist representing Darioush Winery as he shares stories about Darioush's founder and walks us through an informative tasting analysis.

Darioush wine selection includes: 08 Viognier / 07 Chardonnay / 06 Cab Sauv / 06 Cab Franc / 06 Shiraz / 06 Merlot

We also have a limited amount of Darioush wine available for retail purchase. Please reply to this email or call us for pricing and availability.
