When ICON ESTATES contacted us and asked “do you think you could use a winemaker on your next trip?” we didn’t hesitate to shout a resounding “yes!” The resulting collaboration is an incredibly exciting and unique sponsorship. FRANCISCAN has generously agreed to sponsor a wine-pairing dinner for the entire CulinaryCorps team at Bourbon House on Sunday, April 19th.
Michael Eckstein, Franciscan’s winemaker, has paired up with Darin Nesbit, the executive chef of Bourbon House, to craft a multi-course menu featuring Franciscan’s wines.
In tandem with the meal, Michael will be giving the group a short lesson on the art of wine-blending featuring his Magnificat. We have no doubt it will be a night to remember http://www.jovencitosconcamara.com and thank Icon Estates and Franciscan Estate for their tremendous generosity and willingness to share their love of their craft with us.
A special thanks to the folks at BOURBON HOUSE (Lee Anne, Darin, Barry and Wesley) for pulling together the evening so seamlessly.
