WINE PAIRING: CAYMUS SUISUN "THE WALKING FOOL" RED BLEND
Named for Winemaker Jenny Wagner’s great-great-grandfather, Johannes Glos—who earned the nickname “The Walking Fool” in the 1880s for working in Napa’s vineyards—this blend’s fruit-forward brightness complements the savory Marsala Meatball while balancing its earthy, creamy flavors

WINE PAIRING: MER SOLEIL RESERVE CHARDONNAY
Mer Soleil is a French phrase that means "sea and sun." Winemaker Charlie Wagner was inspired by the coastal, cooler climate of Monterey, California where the vineyard is located. The rich, fruity, and slightly oaky profile of the wine enhances and balances the diverse flavors of the salad

Creamy risotto with fontina cheese and mushrooms topped with braised short rib in a tomato sauce

WINE PAIRING: THE VINEKEEPER CABERNET SAUVIGNON, NAPA VALLEY
The Vinekeeper is a special line of cabernet sauvignons meant to highlight “vineyard sites off the beaten track” across California. Each release introduces a new region—starting with Napa Valley for this debut bottling. Its bold structure and rich dark fruit flavors enhance the savory depth of the braised short rib
Course 4

WINE PAIRING: CONUNDRUM RED BLEND
Charles Wagner Sr., founder of Caymus Vineyards would experiment by mixing different varietals to find the perfect glass to pair with his meal, eventually igniting the now-popular blend category. The layers of the wine enhance the richness of the torte while offering just enough fruit and spice to keep every bite lively
