August 27 - Napa Valley Wine Dinner ~ Keenan Winery with Michael Keenan

Announced!  We have a wonderful Napa Valley Wine Dinner that is happening on Wednesday, August 27.

We are very lucky to have the Winemaker and Owner of Keenan Winery, Michael Keenan, here to lead the dinner.

Note that Michael got us 3-liter bottles his Estate Merlot Reserve. We love the large format bottles!

As an additional special highlight – Michael is pouring rare “Capstone” wine. He feels it is his “crowning achievement” as a winemaker.

He only made it in 2020 and he has stated he will not make it again. 2020 was a blessed vintage for Keenan when everything came together beautifully. We are lucky to have it at the dinner.

Michael Keenan is a passionate and fascinating speaker. You’ll love meeting him – and having a direct connection for the next time you visit Napa Valley.
