Wine Director Jesse Rodriguez invites Master Sommelier Chris Blanchard to share wines from Kimberly Jones Selections – what many call “the best wine broker portfolio in California,” including Napa Valley’s top-rated Cabernet Sauvignon producers. Chef Camron Woods’ menu will feature fall-inspired dishes, such as Sweet Corn Soup with Chanterelle mushroom flan and Roasted Guinea Hen with fig and goat cheese fritter.
Four-course dinner with wine pairings, $70 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity
One of only 175 Master Sommeliers in the world, Chris Blanchard has a busy itinerary of running the wine programs at award-winning restaurants in Los Angeles, San Francisco and the Napa Valley, as well as consulting with Kimberly Jones Selections. Blanchard was most recently the opening Wine Director and Sommelier for Napa Valley’s Michelin-starred REDD Restaurant, and San Francisco Magazine named him as the “Critic’s Choice: Best Wine Director” (August 2006), calling him one of the “4 Stars” in the entire San Francisco/Bay Area food scene.
