Cameron Wine Dinner with Owner/Winemaker John Paul
2019-11-07 19:00 - 21:30 UTC | Pluckemin Inn, 359 Route 206 South & Pluckemin Way, Bedminster, NJ, 07921, United States
Join us as one of Oregon’s all-time greats, John Paul of Cameron Winery, joins us for a spectacular evening of Pacific Northwest wine and cuisine. Since founding his winery in 1984, John Paul has marched to the beat of his own drum, trusting his instincts and intellect (he’s a PHD scientist) over current trends. Inspired by the wines and winemaking techniques of Burgundy, his wines are some of the most “old world” Pinot Noirs made in Oregon, or just about anywhere in the new world for that matter.
The wines have entered near cult status, selling out immediately on release but fortunately we were early adopters and have just enough on hand to host this dinner, and have a few cases to sell afterward. Don’t miss this opportunity to get on the bandwagon and taste and learn what all the buzz is about!
