Some of you may remember meeting two of the vintners I work with when they blew into town last year and did a tasting in San Francisco at VinoVenue. Well, one of the boys is back, and this time we're doing a sit-down winemakers dinner at a restaurant in Los Angeles. I didn't set the price (the restaurant did) but it's a fantastic place and the dishes are being prepared to match with the wines, so this should be a great event! Here are all the details:
Campanile Restaurant in Los Angeles will be hosting an Austrian Winemakers Dinner on Monday, February 27th, 2006 featuring wines from Winemonger.com.
Winemaker Franz-Josef Gritsch of the Gritsch Mauritiushof winery in the Wachau region of Austria will be on hand to discuss his wines as well as the wines of his close friend and neighbor, Johann Donabaum.
The wines to be poured are:
2003 Kalmuck Gruner Veltliner Steinfeder (a joint project of Gritsch and Donabaum)
2003 Gritsch Mauritiushof Axpoint Gruner Veltliner Federspiel
2003 Donabaum Spitzer Point Gruner Veltliner Federspiel
2003 Gritsch Mauritiushof Singerriedel Gruner Veltliner Smaragd
2003 Donabaum Loibner Garden Gruner Veltliner Smaragd
