Please join Rasika for a Wine Dinner featuring Pioneering wine grower
David Hirsch, and the wines of Hirsch Vineyards.

A collection of Burgundian styled wines highlighting several vintages of one
of the Sonoma Coast's most important vineyards paired with a dazzling Five
Course Dinner prepared by Chef Vikram Sunderam.

Hirsch Vineyards is recognized as one of the premier sites for pinot noir in the new world. David Hirsch planted his vineyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the extreme Sonoma Coast in 1980, and since then it has become one of the leading sources for
pinot noir grapes, providing fruit to Littorai, Williams Selyem and Kistler, among others. Since 2002, David has been producing his own estate pinot noirs and chardonnays from this complex, cool-weather site. These are wines of balance, concentration, complexity and site-specificity.
