Michael Skurnik hosted a wine tasting dinner with Bonny Doon owner and winemaker, Randall Graham. This was the day we got back from Florida, so I rushed from the airport to the Dressing Room. A handful of restaurant owners and wine shop stewards attended, with a few tables of "Friends and Family" of the Dressing Room.
It was the first artisan wine tasting dinner they hosted, and they did a pretty good job. Unfortunately it started pretty late (an hour or so) while waiting for everyone to show up. Luckily Tony and Davide from Fountainhead/Fat Cat were there, and we got to sit with Randall himself, while sipping on his wine, learning his secrets and listening to stories from the last 20 years in California winemaking.
I am going to split the dinner up into four/five posts, describing both the wines and their pairings. It was definitely close to what we do at BONDA for a wine tasting dinner, and the best I have attended in awhile. They were very quick to refill glasses, the service was the best it has been in the last couple of months, and the food was quite tasty.
