Macauley Winemaker Dinner

Spectacular Napa Cabernet!

Thursday, May 8th 2025 

This wonderful Napa estate is owned by Mac and Amy Watson. Mac’s mother and father built it in the 1980s.

Evolving from a basement winery, today, the wines are truly impressive. Big bold deep and interesting Cabernet Sauvignon that is nonetheless graceful and elegant and enhances, rather than competes with, great food (like steak and cheese). Likewise, their Chardonnay is sexy and smart and it positively sings with the lobster-shrimp dish with which we are pairing it.

We’ll drink TWO vintages of their estate Cabernet and one from Stagecoach, one of our favorite Cabernet vineyards in all of California. These are profound, age-worthy cabs that are going to rock with this menu. Come join us and Mac for dinner and discover something new and stunning.
