Au Bon Climat Barrel Tasting & Lunch

We have the great fortune to be invited for lunch to Jim Clendenen's Au Bon Climat Winery. Jim and his crew are truly enjoying the everyday pleasures of life by sharing food and wine together. The massive custom wooden dining table in middle of the warehouse is filled with wines from around the world for tasting. What a fantastic way to find your perfect pairing! Jim prepares lunch with flavors inspired by his upcoming Bali trip, while we have a special Barrel Tasting of two wines with Gavin Chanin, assistant wine maker.
