Great food from Bay Wolf; great wines from France

The next PMW wine dinner will take place at the Bay Wolf on Sunday March 26 at 7:00 PM. This dinner features wines from the portfolio of Louis/Dressner Selections. Joe Dressner, his wife, Denyse Louis, and partner Kevin McKenna import a small, thoughtfully selected portfolio of producers who "work their vines and make their wines with honesty, passion and humor."

Joe Dressner (read his blog!) will be joining us for dinner this evening, along with the following producers and their wines:

Marc Ollivier
Domaine de la Pépière
(Muscadet)

François & Suzanne Pinon
Domaine François Pinon
(Vouvray)

Jean-Paul Brun
Domaine Terres Dorées
(Beaujolais)

Éric & Laurence Texier
Éric Texier Wines
(Mâconnais, Northern Rhône, and Southern Rhône)

Joe, the producers, and PMW staff will pour and talk about the wines in a relaxed and convivial setting.


Marc Ollivier explains to an unidentified agent why his Muscadet vines are not a security threat.

Chef Michael Wild is preparing a special menu to accompany the wines. The total cost, including all food, wines, tax, and tip, is $100. Payment to PMW in advance is required to reserve your place. Here is the menu and list of the accompanying wines:
