Local Event
Signorello Estates Wine Dinner
Fri, April 6, 2018 (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM)
Cost: $125
Signorello Estate is a one-of-a-kind reflection of a wholly unique Napa Valley hillside vineyard and terroir. Planted and cultivated by the Signorello Family since 1977, these grapes are the foundation of their richly structured, intensely flavored Estate wines. Ray Signorello, Jr. has left no stone unturned, no philosophy unexplored, no ancient or modern viticulture and winemaking idea untried in his decades-long quest to produce the perfect Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for his customers.
Please join us for a four course dinner paired with the wines from Signorello, FUSE, Edge & Trim Wineries of Signorello Estates. You will be lead by the estate sommelier Ron Plunkett through the history of the wines, learn about different vintages and a unique way the wine story is the family story for Signorello.

About Signorello Winery:
Devotion is the word that best describes the intense attention the vineyards and wine receive in order to produce limited quantities of world-class wines. We blend classic French wine making methods with Napa Valley fruit to achieve lush, concentrated, complex fruit flavors and balanced structure. Our goal is to create wines with early accessibility as well as the potential to develop additional complexity as they mature. Signorello Estate’s style of winemaking is based on the idea of “winegrowing” described by a French word “Vigneron.” It means that everything done in the vineyards is intimately connected to the winemaking. Our winemaker is also our vineyard manager, and the entire winemaking team is responsible for growing and harvesting the grapes as well.
