Wine Dinners

Revisit our June 2021 Wine Dinner with Chef Intros from Tom Foley:

Summer Tastes Featuring Fess Parker Winery

If you missed our June 2021 wine dinner, scroll below to explore its menu and the wine pairing introductions via video from our own Chef Tom Roley. You can see menu and more of our Grand Finale Wine Dinners from August 2021 HERE.

Fess Parker is perhaps better known in Santa Barbara for his long history in the wine business than for his iconic role as Davy Crockett, and Fess Parker was a giant in both industries. The development of Santa Barbara, Santa Rita and Santa Ynez would not have happened if it weren’t for his vision and drive. We are excited to show off some of the diversity of the AVA through a dinner featuring some of the amazing wine varietals typical of the area, presented by wine expert Kate Strosahl-Johnson from PureWine.
