<a id="Solare-Korbin-Kameron-Wine-Dinner"></a>Wine Dinner - Korbin Kameron Estate on Mt. Veeder Mayacamas Mountains

July 21 - Wine Dinner – Korbin Kameron Estate on Mt. Veeder Mayacamas Mountains

 

As you can tell from the video link below, I am most excited to have Korbin Ming here to lead this evening.

We are talking “mountain wines” from the Mt. Veeder Ridge on the Mayacamas Mountain Range.

When Tommy and I met Korbin (the winemaker) – tasted his wines – heard his story – we knew then and there that we wanted to have him at Solare so you could also meet him and experience what he has done.

Join us Monday evening, July 21. Click here to RSVP or call 619-270-9670.

Winery Highlights:

  • High altitude – 2300 feet
  • Entirely volcanic soil and terroir
  • Korbin is the winemaker is very “down to earth” and really shares how these wines are made – super charismatic
  • All estate grown – they have 19 acres of wines on an estate of 186 acres (gorgeous location)

Here are all the details:

  • Monday, July 21
  • 6:30pm Reception with Korbin followed by Dinner
  • $85/guest includes the 4-course dinner, 5 estate Korbin Kameron wines
  • RSVP right away if you are interested

These are “intensely expressive” wines that really capture the terroir of this elevation on land that straddles both Napa to the east and Sonoma to the west.

Click here for a short video describing the evening.

I hope you can join me and the Solare Team with Korbin on Monday. Love his wines!
