ROESSLER CELLARS @ CUVEE NAPA RESTAURANT

Thursday June 19th

Cuvee Napa Restaurant

6:30 pm

Join us as we taste and enjoy Roessler wines with a specially prepared dinner at Cuvee Napa. Roessler Cellars is dedicated to producing single vineyard designated wines from grapes farmed to their specifications by growers who maintain their passion for quality. Led by brothers Roger and Richard Roessler, winemaker Scott Shapley and consulting winemaker Wells Guthrie, they are producing delicious wines in small quantities. We will be highlighting their single vineyard Pinot Noir from the famed Savoy Vineyard in Anderson Valley.

Your experience this evening will start with a barrel sampling so you can taste and learn how wines progress in the barrel as they journey to final release. The barrel tasting will be accompanied by light hors d’oeuvres. We will then be seated for dinner. We will be treated to the same wines from the current and library releases so you can see and taste the progression from barrel to bottle and experience how it develops in bottle over the years.

Located at 1650 Soscol Avenue, Napa and adjacent to the River Terrace Inn, Cuvee’s food reflects the wine country theme with comfort foods that are the perfect accompaniment to the wines.

As an added bonus Roger will offer the wines ordered that evening at a 15% discount to attendees.
