Pop-Up Wine Dinner With Bill Eastson

Cost: $200

On Thursday, May 9th, California winemaker, Bill Easton, will host a pop-up wine dinner at Blu on the Hudson. Bill is one of the original Rhône Rangers, a group of American winemakers who pioneered the Rhône varietals in the Sierra Foothills, CA. 

Prepare to be amazed as Bill shares his winemaking process and unveils some of his most exceptional deep-aged vintage wines from his private collection. These include 2006 Roussanne, 1999 Zinfandel, and Ascent 2016, which was recently awarded a perfect 100-point rating from Wine Enthusiast and was #2 on their Top 100 List for 2020.
