MELT: 1976 🍷
We’re throwing a dinner party with Napa Valley's Matthiasson
On Sunday, October 25, we’re going back 50 years for a five-course dinner inspired by the food, music and culture of one extraordinary year — with Napa Valley’s Matthiasson creating the complete w**e pairing for the evening.
Why Matthiasson? Their elegant, restrained w**es deliberately look back to the California w**emaking of the 1970s and ’80s. And the connection to 1976 runs even deeper: that was the year of the Judgment of Paris, when California w**es stunned France and changed the way the world thought about American w**e.
And Steve Matthiasson has serious w**e-world credentials: W**emaker of the Year honors from both Food & W**e and the San Francisco Chronicle, six James Beard Award nominations, and decades of consulting work with some of Napa’s most respected estates.
The food? Think dinner-party classics, remastered — fondue, shrimp cocktail, Black Forest Baked Alaska and more.
The music? Every course gets an album released in 1976, because back then you put on a record and let the whole thing play.
Five courses. Full Matthiasson w**e pairing. One night only.
Sunday, October 25
