  • Thank you to KJ:

  • During the fires in October 2017, Kendall-Jackson became a winery superhero.

  • I HIGHLY recommend attending a Kendall-Jackson winery event.

  • This past August I was a guest at their Farm-To-Table dinner series.

  • Liberty Farm Duck, Dry Creek Peaches, Oysters, fresh veggies from the garden….

  • Every dish is a feast for the eyes and stomach, flavor explosions, flowing wine, loooooooooooooooong table ambiance.

  • One of my TOP favorite dinner events ever!!!
