Please join us on the evening of Wednesday night, June 9th at Chef Donald Link’s Calcasieu as we welcome to town winemaker Paul Hoffman for a four course dinner featuring five of Paul’s wines. In addition to being the consulting winemaker for the inaugural release of our very own wine, Paul is also owner of his own line of wines including some amazing single vineyard Rhone Varietal wines from Napa and Sonoma, some deft and balanced Zinfandels (no small task, I assure you) and some delightfully dry and crisp whites.
Paul is in town to help us launch our wine and to showcase the purity and honesty of his own wines as well. Surely there’s no better way to do so than to pair it with the down-home, yet refined flavors coming from the kitchen at Calcasieu. The good folks at Calcasieu are working on the menu right now, pairing the menu with 5 of Paul’s best selections.
This is a VERY limited dinner, please call us at 504.483.6314 or email Jon Smith at jsmith@cbwines.com for reservations.
