Jan. 31, 2011 – Scheduled for Saturday, February 19, 2011, the highly anticipated event has already drawn a lot of attention from Crushpad’s client base and friend community, and is expected to be a major success. The exclusive winemaker dinner will take place at 738 Main Street, St Helena, CA 94574, between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM.

Executive chef, Sheamus Feely, has put together a menu to highlight the food friendly wines created by Ashley Heisey for Long Meadow Ranch.

If you haven’t been introduced to LMR wines, here’s your chance! Their 2007 Cab Sauv (96 pts) was just awarded the #5 spot in Wine Enthusiast’s list of Top 100 wines of 2010.

Farmstead features an authentic farm-to-table menu with many of its ingredients – grass-fed beef, vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, eggs and honey – coming directly from Long Meadow Ranch.

The cost of the dinner is $90 per person, which covers food & wine, tip & tax (the entire payment will be collected at the restaurant). The winemaker dinner is a great opportunity to enjoy wonderful wines with delicious foods, so hurry up and reserve a seat – space is limited!
