On April 22 we’re welcoming co-founder and winemaker Brandon Sparks-Gillis for an evening that’s all about precision, place, and seriously good wine.
We’ll be pouring 4 wines that showcase exactly why Dragonette has built such a devoted following.
And as always, Chef Amy is bringing the heat with food that more than holds its own alongside these wines.
Come hang, taste through the lineup, and spend the evening with the winemaker behind it all.
