Known for their Napa Valley roots and signature varietals, Duckhorn wines are crafted with balance and approachability in mind, making them an ideal match for a menu designed to highlight both flavor and seasonality. Each pairing throughout the evening has been selected to complement the dish, bringing out the best in both the food and the wine.
