Join us when we welcome Vintage Import’s Lee Kuehn to present a comparison dinner featuring the wines from Duckhorn Vineyards and Frog’s Leap Winery!   Frog’s Leap and Duckhorn are examples of outstanding Napa Valley Wineries that are remembered after their products are sampled.  Dan & Margaret Duckhorn founded their winery in 1976 and achieved almost cult like status in Napa.  Dan is a good friend and I have enjoyed a few wonderful afternoons sampling his wares.

Like Frog’s Leap, his wines are all about the soil, producing classic Bordeaux like varietals.  Frog’s Leap, located in Rutherford is an organic winery that has been using sustainable farming methods long before it became fashionable.  We will sample nine outstanding wines, so get out of the heat and come to our super “cool”, newly remodeled restaurant for some Friday evening fun!
