Please join us on Wednesday, October 24th, anytime between 4:30-7:30pm, when we welcome Nate Weiss, Director of Winemaking for Silver Oak and Twomey, to our wine bar to present a flight of his world-famous, award-winning wines.

It is inspiring to realize that Silver Oak, one of the most widely recognized producers of Cabernet Sauvignon in the world, actually had fairly humble beginnings. Raymond Duncan was convinced of the future of the Napa Valley as a world class wine region when he first visited the area in the 1960s. He started buying land in Napa and Alexander Valleys with the intention of planting vineyards, but since his business and life were based in Colorado, he knew he needed to partner with someone locally. Enter Justin Meyer, whom he had met through friends and was working for Christian Brothers at the time. Justin agreed to plant and manage Ray’s vineyard land but also wanted to build a stand-alone winery “that would forever raise the standards of California wine.” Thus began Silver Oak Cellars in 1972. Their mission was to make a new style of Cabernet Sauvignon, “rich and complex, deliciously drinkable from the day it was released, yet worthy of cellaring for years to come.” They were able to achieve this drinkability thanks to their extensive ageing program which employs American oak exclusively and calls for additional time in the bottle before release.

Nate, who joined Silver Oak in 2014, trained under previous Director of Winemaking, Daniel Baron, much like Daniel trained under Justin Meyer before him, and continues the tradition of creating these seminal wines. Nate’s varied winemaking background (which includes stints at Craggy Range and Sacred Hill in New Zealand in addition to Groth, Etude and Patz and Hall) offers him a unique blend of experience, allowing him to craft exceptional Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon while also overseeing Twomey’s production of food-friendly, site-driven Pinot Noir, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.

What better way to welcome the Autumn than with an with an evening of Cabernet Sauvignons from iconic producer, Silver Oak! In addition to an insider’s look at Silver Oak’s world renowned barrel program, Nate will guide us through a special flight of Silver Oak's current releases along with a special library selection from the 2008 vintage and two holiday crowd-pleasers from the Twomey portfolio.
