Bouchaine Wine Class this Monday!

This Monday, we are so excited to have Bob Fallon with us from Bouchaine for our wine class series:  A tour or Bouchaine Winery...as close to Burgundy as you can find in Carneros. $40pp plus tax

Located in the heart of Carneros, this cool climate spot produces some of the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir around. This is not a wine you'll see stacked on the shelves of your local store.
