November opens up the winter season for our dinner series with The Essex. We are going to a country that we have not touched yet (that just happens to produce the third most wine in the world). La Rioja has had land under vine for the last three thousand years, and is the most recognizable wine export from Spain.
This region is rich both in food and wine history, which we are incredibly excited to share with you!

We create these wine dinners with dishes and pairings in mind. We do our best to accommodate all allergies but at this time we are unable to accommodate meal preferences that deviate from the prepared menu.
