Paul Sobon, second generation winemaker for Sobon Estates and Shenandoah Vineyards, will be traveling back to Alaska for the 3rd time to share his family's wines with all of us.  If you  had Paul's wines in the past, you can certainly appreciate the quality and value that his wines provide.  If you haven't had the chance to try these wines, now is the time!  There will be all new wines at the dinner with the exception of one.  It was so well received we thought it deserved an encore performance.  Chef Brett Knipmeyer of Kinley's Restaurant is already underway planning fabulous dishes to accompany the wines.  I'm excited to see what dessert he creates to compliment the White Port!  Come join us in welcoming Paul back to our state and enjoying food, wine, and friendship.
