This past Friday The City Club had a REALLY fun Winemaker Dinner with Landmark Vineyards. The wines were outstanding, the Assistant Winemaker Jack Anderson was charming and knowledgeable, while Executive Chef Michael Munoz knocked the food out of the park!
If you haven’t had a chance to visit Landmark in the quaint Sonoma Valley community of Kenwood, put it on your list! They have beautiful grounds and lovely wine – it’s a real treat. Landmark Vineyards epitomizes the grace, harmony and vitality that characterize Sonoma County.
