Join us for a perfect outing for the wine lover in all of us.  We reached into our library of older wines.  Wineries often hold back a few cases of each vintage or cellar them to gain a collection of older wines.  This event is featuring Riesling from 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2017 vintages. Our chef and winemaker have collaborated on a perfect tapa menu for the event.  To be held in our Vineyard Restaurant at 1pm.  Only 15 seats available.  Library wines will be for sale for $20.00 a bottle.  The event is $20.00 for Knappster Club Members and $30.00 for non- members.
