TOUR AMERICA'S WEST COAST WINERIES AT CIRCA 59
Join Executive Chef ‘Bradley Manchester’ and Restaurant Director ‘Darin Grohs’ as they take you on a tour of America’s West Coast Wineries in 2010. Starting in Santa Barbara, California and extending into Washington State, these monthly dinners will vary by winery style, winery location and seasonality as Chef Bradley creates signature menu offerings to compliment each wine. The philosophy of these dinners matches Darin Grohs’ Circa 59 wine menu vision of selecting the best wines from each region of the Western United States moving from South to North.
• Circa 59 wine dinners are priced every event at $59 per person – seating is limited to 30 guests and includes a pre-reception and dinner.
