Prospect Wine Dinner with Emeritus

Prospect celebrates the winemaker & the farmer with a 4-course dinner pairing wines from the Emeritus vineyards with lamb from the Emeritus fields.

A whole lamb raised on Emeritus' home ranch in the heart of Russian River Valley will serve as the basis of the meal, and Emeritus Vineyard Manager Kirk Lokka will be present to offer insight about the farm's operations. Chef Kapur will utilize produce grown on the 115-acre property, making this dinner a sincere offering of the vineyard's yield that marries the cumulative talents of chef, farmer, and vintner.
