The winemaker dinner at Pappo was a great time. It was a 5 course meal paired to match 4 of our wines. Randy, one of the owners, talk about the history of Lost Canyon Winery and introduced the first wine, our RRV Viognier. The first course was served, then after the plates were cleared, I talked about the 2 Pinots that were to follow with the next 2 courses. Randy stepped in before the last 2 courses to talk about the Syrah and the revisiting of the Viognier. All of the courses were fantastic!! I think my favorite was the Lamb with the Stage Gulch Syrah. Delicious!!! Great job to Chef John Thiel and his staff for putting together such a wonderful dinner. The menu is posted below.
