On Feb. 24, 231 members of the Wine Club celebrated an evening of Hearts and Wine featuring Frank Family Vineyards. Our reception was especially heartfelt as a selection of exclusive wines, hand chosen by RNDC distributor Treasury Wine Estate Specialist Matt Proch, were presented for a surprise special tasting before our dinner.
Following our reception were four wines paired with a superb multi–course dinner that included lamb, cod, and potato gnocchi. Something for everyone!
During dinner Matt spoke about the Frank Family Vineyards three-decade history in Napa Valley. The vineyard is considered one of today’s most successful California wineries and voted among Napa’s favorites for years. While best known for its classic renditions of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, the world-class portfolio also includes Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, all of which the Wine Club enjoyed with dinner.
Our upcoming March event will feature club favorite, Tobin James Cellars, and in April is the Western Night Patio Party.
The Wine Club is open to all residents of PebbleCreek, the only caveat is enjoying wine with likeminded neighbors. We have scheduled events all year, perfect for full time residents, normally meeting on the third Tuesday of the month in a dinner or tasting format, themed around specific wines or varietals. Each event is priced separately, and members or guests reserve their seats on our website, pcwineclub.com, with their payments. As a club member there are no attendance or obligations to attend events. Our membership begins on May 1. Please visit our website to join us for another fun–filled year.
