Willamette Valley wines are famous for their similarity to French Burgundies (both regions occupy the same latitude), so it’s fitting that Bar Boulud is hosting a Willamette Valley vineyard for a special dinner on Wednesday, March 4th. Sommelier Jamie Puckett has invited the owner and winemaker of Sokol Blosser for a special evening pairing French food with the Frenchiest of American wines. Come enjoy four courses plus dessert while you learn what makes Sokol Blosser wines so sought after, and different from their California counterparts. Tickets are $138, available here.
