Please join us Tuesday, February 21st, as Foxen Vineyard & Winery co-founder Dick Doré comes to L'Auberge Chez François to present some of his fine wines from Santa Barbara County. Doré and co-owner Bill Wathen founded Foxen at the historic Rancho Tinaquaic in 1985. Since that time, their dedication has remained the same – the creation of very small-production, vineyard-designated wines using a “minimalist” approach to wine making. Across the board, the results are remarkable: 

"This lineup from Foxen is easily among the most impressive I have tasted this year. The wines move from strength to strength, always with exceptional purity, tons of transparency to site and impeccable class. The only problem here is one of mind-boggling choice, as the range is full of highlights. Simply put, I can't recommend these wines highly enough." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
