Winemaker dinner Friday at Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa

DuMOL winery to pair wines with four-course dinner at the Duck Club Restaurant.

By Jennifer Kennedy

Wine proprietor Kerry Murphy of DuMOL winery will share his wine making philosophy at the winemaker dinner on October 30 at 6:30 p.m., which will be hosted at the Duck Club Restaurant located in the Lafayette Park Hotel and Spa. Award-winning DuMOL winery produces 4,000 cases a year and their wines are in such a high demand that they sell out months before their release dates.

For the dinner, their 2007 vintage wines from the Russian River Valley appellation will be paired with a four-course menu created by Executive Chef Chuck Courtney. Hors d’Oeuvres will be served at 6:30 p.m. and paired with the 2008 Viognier Lia. At 7:00 p.m. the full dinner will begin featuring a pan seared day boat scallop with buttered apple puree, followed by a Muscovy duck, Dijon and herb roasted rack of lamb with a fennel-cardoon gratin and syrah lamb jus, and finally various artisan cheeses. The food will be paired with 2007 Chardonnay, two Pinot Noirs, and a Syrah. The event costs $99 per person and reservations are required.
