Zepaltas Wine Dinner

A day later on January 24th, Finca rings in the new year highlighting Zepaltas wines with Ryan Zepaltass in attendance. In the spirit of the season, Finca/Pago sommelier Evan Lewandowski explained why the dinner is perfectly timed:

“It’s a bright and shiny brand new year and so many of you that have complicated your own (already complicated) existence with the burden of a lofty New Years Resolution.

Might we suggest a new resolve to simply drink better wine? Not necessarily more EXPENSIVE wine, just better wine. Wine that makes you reconsider what the word “good” truly means. Wine that is honest, true to its vines, its soil, the soul that cared for it from pruning all the way to the bottle. Commit to the farmer, to the family, to the little guy honestly pursuing their passion, their reverie for the ground and the grapevine./ Ryan Zepaltas IS that aforementioned “little guy,” the young, vibrant, and humbly passionate soul that seeks purity, honesty, and transparency in his craft”.

The menu for the evening includes Lamb + wood grilled lamb belly, mushroom duxelle, wild huckleberry paired with 2011 Pinot Noir and Wood grilled bavette steak, cabrales blue cheese butter, roasted potatoes
served with Zepaltas 2011 Syrah.
