Wines for the evening are provided by Cuvaison and Brandlin. The Cuvaison Vineyard in Napa Valley is dedicated to a philosophy of producing vineyard-driven wines and employs block-by-block farming methods and a hand-crafted vineyard-to-bottle winemaking approach. This results in wines that are balanced and complex, showcasing the distinctive characteristics of the various Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.
