Fiddleheads and The Grape Escape present our ninth "Dine With the Winemaker" tasting event.

Many of you enjoy dining at Fiddleheads (http://www.FiddleheadsJamesburg.com) not only because of the great food and atmosphere, but because you like bringing your own wine. How about making your own custom wine? We're talking the real deal--crushing and pressing grapes, barreling and racking, and bottling, corking and even making your own labels for a wine uniquely your own.

So we’re pleased to announce that Tom and Nancy Nye, owners and master winemakers of The Grape Escape (http://www.GoGrapes.com) wine academy in Dayton, N.J., will once again be our guests at Fiddleheads on Sunday, August 2, 2009, from 4 to 8 p.m. for our ninth “Dine with the Winemaker” event.

Enjoy a great meal at Fiddleheads while the Nyes visit your table to pour some of the magnificent wines coming out of The Grape Escape, the most advanced hands-on winery on the East Coast. They’ll be available to chat with you about this year's California grape harvest from the Napa, Sonoma and Amador regions, and the company’s unique winemaking course (you might even call it a "party school"!) right here on Stults Road in Dayton, off Cranbury Road, near Turnpike exit 8A and Route 130.

Dinner reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis, so make your reservation by calling us at 732.521.0878. This event is always a full house and the Nyes make it a very fun evening.

The Grape Escape, a fast-growing winemaking school less than 10 minutes from Fiddleheads and the only one of its kind in Middlesex County, features a signature hands-on course to make and bottle your own wine. The same award-winning grapes used in the best Californian, Argentine, and Chilean wineries are shipped to The Grape Escape and in four short sessions over a 10-month period, you will have the unique experience of "fine wining"!

It’s an outstanding opportunity to share a creative and fun craft with friends, family, a team of coworkers, or any club or group. Your own wine also makes great holiday or corporate gifts, favors for baby and bridal showers, and commemorations of wedding and organizational anniversaries. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced winemaking students created many thousands of bottles of wine at The Grape Escape in 2008, and you can sign up for the Fall 2009 California winemaking sessions right now!

Fiddleheads is also hosting an Open House date at their winery in Dayton on Thursday, Sept. 24. Fiddleheads will be serving complimentary appetizers; come see us! Visit their Web site under "News and Events" for Open House details and directions.

Want even more fun stuff? The Grape Escape is now offering classes in making your own mozzarella cheese, and bottling your own custom olive oil and 12-year-aged balsamic vinegar! Be sure to ask about it during your dinner on August 2! Also ask about corporate team-building events and holding private parties at the winery.

For our current menus, see our Web site, where there is also a flyer about "Dine With the Winemaker" that you can print out to share with your friends. For more information about The Grape Escape, link to their site at http://www.GoGrapes.com.
