Long August Days Have You Staying Up Late? Assistant Winemaker Michael Costley, Senior Events Manager Barbra Christo, and more of our food and wine pros fess up to one of their favorite guilty pleasures: late night snacks and wine! From soft, ripened Époisses with Far Niente Chardonnay to Cheez-Its and Mortadella with Bella Union Cabernet, there’s a little something for everyone. Get ready to dig in!
It’s a single-vineyard celebration and it’s going to be cheddar than ever!
The cheesy one-liners are back for a third summer, along with August Hosted at Home Co-Hosts, EnRoute Winemaker Michael Accurso and Jasper Hill Farm’s Zoe Brickley. This is one of our favorite Hosted at Home tastings, and not just because it’s oozing with amazing cheese and wine pairings (and even cheesier food and wine puns). Michael and Zoe are both extremely passionate about their crafts, and they love sharing that passion with others. We hope you’ll join our favorite curd nerd – and our resident wine geek – for a brie-lliant afternoon of food, wine and conversation.
Does wine bring out the nuances in … a good book? Our Far Niente food and wine (and literature!) pros sure think so.
Whether you’re escaping to the beach or simply escaping into a great beach read, get inspired by our team’s favorite summer books and bottles. From the Napa Valley Chardonnay that pairs with time travel (and nostalgia) to the late harvest jewel that’s as silky and sensuous as an epic romance, these pairings are off the shelf!
