Farm to Vine Dinner season is back at Town Meeting Bistro, and on Wednesday, June 14th there’ll be a major emphasis on the “vine” as they welcome winemaker Vance Rose of Jonive Estate for a visit. Head to Lexington to the Inn at Hastings Park for a farm-fresh four-course feast from chef Alissa Tsukakoshi that will highlight some stylish vintages from the Russian River Valley winemaker’s portfolio, including Stonington Maine Lobster Salad with Chilled Lemongrass-Coconut Broth, Green Papaya, Red Curry Oil and Kaffir Lime Leaf paired with Jonive Estate Chardonnay Russian Valley River 2021; and Long Island Duck Breast with Hakurei Turnips, Baby Bok Choy, Duck Jus & Bay Oil paired with Jonive Estate Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2021. Take a peek at the menu below.

Rose is a wine industry veteran of nearly 40 years who has worked all over the world making and selling wine, including California, France, Spain and Australia, and he’ll be on hand to talk you through each pour and tell you about the unique terroir of Jonive’s 18-acre property nestled within the Sebastopol Hills of California. Tickets for dinner are $200 and include all your wine, food, tax, and tip; order yours here. The meal kicks off at 6:30pm, but there’s no reason not to head over to Lexington a little early to stroll the Inn’s culinary gardens and have a cocktail before you sit down.
