2010 Wine Dinner Series
This year, VPC’s wine dinner series will take place on the second Saturday in March, June, September, and December. Ericka and Heather will create a multi-course family style meal to complement the wines from the featured winery, and the winemaker will be on hand to talk wine. You get to kickback and get to know each other over great food and wine.
All wine dinners begin at 7pm and cost to attend is $95/person plus tax and gratuity (the exception being the December champagne dinner at $145/person). Reservations are required.
Ericka has handpicked the wineries participating in the series, not only because they make spectacular wines, but also because they are environmentally responsible. The 2010 wineries are family and/or winemaker owned award-winning wineries from Washington State.
