J Lohr has been making wine for over 50 years in California and last year receive the Top 100 Winery award from Wine & Spirits. Teo Zagroba from J Lohr will be joining us for the dinner.

From Eric:

I have enjoyed both retailing and drinking J. Lohr wines for over 2 decades, and continue to realize that their wines always over deliver for the price.  Still family-owned and operated today, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines has established itself as one of the industry’s most respected wine brands.

Yes, you may see some of their wines in the grocery store aisle, but the wines for our wine dinner are a step or two(or three) above those everyday labels. Single vineyard wines that offer distinct terrior of the Paso Robles area.   Because J. Lohr farms over 2,700 acres of vineyards in Paso Robles, now recognized as one of the world’s best spots for Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux and Rhone varietals, this allows us to pick and choose the wines of our liking and wines that offer great value.

Come and enjoy their wines paired with food and see why we really do enjoy them.

Menu is in the works, but see some of it below:

J Lohr Rose of Grenache (this is a winery only offering, so it is pretty special that we are able to try it)

Roasted garlic butter with prawns and fingerling potatoes with J Lohr October Night Chardonnay
