Join us on Thursday, June 8th, as Sommelier, Sean Price, guides us through a five course dinner paired with five different rosé wines, demonstrating just how versatile rosé can be and why it is indeed deserving of the popular phrase: Rosé All Day (and night!).

Feast of San Gennaro Dinner
2023-09-13 19:00 - 21:30, 2023-09-14 19:00 - 21:30
We love Italian food!
It may have something to do with the fact that our owner, Mrs. Gloria LaGrassa, is of Italian heritage, or maybe because, well… how can you NOT love Italian food, but regardless, if there is an opportunity to celebrate it with our guests, you can count on us that we will.
The Feast of San Gennaro is nearly a century old tradition that started along Manhattan’s Mulberry street in 1926 with Italian immigrants from Naples celebrating Saint Januarius, the patron saint of Naples.
As with most Italian traditions, food took center stage, and food (and wine) is what we will celebrate at this dinner.
So join us on Wednesday, September 13th or Thursday September 14th (or both), at 7:00pm for an Italian inspired wine paired dinner, celebrating the delicious cuisine of Italy.

2023-10-11 19:00 - 21:30 | Pluckemin Inn, 359 Route 206 South & Pluckemin Way, Bedminster, NJ, 07921, United States
California is responsible for 80% of the total wine production in the united states, and while we love California, it’s wines will only represent 40% of the wines served at this upcoming dinner as we think there is more to American wines than just California.
So, join us for this celebration of domestic wines as we visit Oregon, Washington State, New York State, and yes, California and showcase great winemaking from the land of the free!
The wines for the dinner were carefully selected by Sean Price, our sommelier, and will be paired with a menu composed by executive chef Jason Ramos and his team.

Italian Wine Dinner
2023-10-25 19:00 - 21:30 | Pluckemin Inn, 359 Route 206 South & Pluckemin Way, Bedminster, NJ, 07921, United States
Last year we went on a tour of the Italian hillsides and valleys lesser known to the average wine drinker. We introduced the guests who joined us that evening to new growing regions they have not heard of previously, and to some new grape varietals. And the response was overwhelmingly positive. So much so, that we decided to take another trip to Italy, and explore some more lesser know wines from this land that we all associate with great food and wine.
Expect to taste new grape varietals such as Pigato from Liguria, Falanghina from Campania and more.
So, join us on Wednesday, October 25th, and explore an array of hidden gems from across Italy. Sommelier Sean Price has selected wines that display the true terroir of their respective regions, and are incredibly food friendly, and Executive Chef Jason Ramos has created a menu to perfectly pair with those wines.

Winemaker Dinner with Selbach-Oster
2023-11-09 19:00 - 21:30
Join us on Thursday, November 9th, as we welcome Johannes & Barbara Selbach of Germany’s renowned Selbach-Oster.
Johannes and Barbara, alongside their son, Sebastian, manage their vineyards and winery with passion and respect for the estate’s long held traditions.
Most of the Selbach-Oster vineyards are located on steep, contiguous slopes that represent some of the most prestigious sites in all of the Middle Mosel. In fact, 85% of the Selbach’s vines are planted on steep slopes.
Johannes will share with us his traditionalist, hands-off manner of winemaking, that focuses on meticulous work in their organic and sustainably farmed vineyards with the aim to produce and bring home perfect fruit that will later be transformed to world class wine.
We will be serving seven (7) different wines from their vineyards and while most of them are Rieslings, we will also taste a sparkling wine using a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Meunier and one red wine, a 100% Pinot Noir (aka Spatburgunder) during this five course dinner.

Truffle Dinner
2024-01-18 19:00 - 21:30
If you ever had a truffle (black or white) you know that there is something magical about them. So much so, that ancient Romans thought they are created when lightning strikes the damp forest soil. And while we now know that these tubers are formed underground in the wild forests of Italy and France (sometimes overnight!) their magic is still very real.
These rare nuggets are nearly impossible to farm, and as such come at a hefty price. Black truffles cost upwards of $1,000 a pound, and white truffles reach heights of over $2,500 a pound.
So join us as we celebrate these incredible tubers, in a dinner all about truffles. Executive Chef Jason Ramos has created a menu that will make your mouth water, and your taste buds dance.
Each course will be carefully paired with the perfect glass of wine, selected by sommelier Sean Price.
Call 908.658.9292 today to secure your reservation.

Sake Dinner
2024-04-10 19:00 - 21:30
We are happy to announce our second Sake dinner, and welcome back Sake Samurai, Ms. Monika Samuels to share some of the rich world of sake with us again.
Sake has been enjoyed in Japan for over 1,300 years, and while mostly known in the west as wine made of rice, it is actually produced in a brewing process similar to the brewing of beer.
Join us on Wednesday, April 10th, as Ms. Samuels guides us thorough five different Sakes, while educating us about this fascinating beverage, and possibly setting straight a few misconceptions about Sake along the way.
Ms. Samuels was recognized as a “Sake Samurai” by the Japan Sake Brewer’s Association in 2017, and with a grandfather that worked as a Sake brewer, Sake is an integral part of her DNA.
Executive Chef, Jason Ramos, had a great time pairing his food with Sake at our first Sake dinner, and is looking forward to doing it again.

The Marvelous Morel Dinner
2024-05-29 19:00 - 21:30 | Pluckemin Inn, 359 Route 206 South & Pluckemin Way, Bedminster, NJ, 07921, United States
The marvelous morel mushrooms are not only on our list of all-time favorite ingredients, they are also a sign that Spring has finally arrived.
The Morel, or morchella, is actually more related to the truffle than it is to other mushrooms and, like truffles, is the fruit of a fungus that sprouts in the moist soil of woods and forests. Morels are very versatile and have a complex flavor and wonderful texture unlike any other mushroom. That, combined with the fact that they only grow in the wild during a very short season, contributes to their mystique, their popularity among great chefs and their high price.
whether you have never had a morel, or already a fan, you will want to join us for this upcoming dinner celebrating this incredible ingredient. Executive Chef, Jason Ramos, will be presenting a five course dinner designed to showcase the best of the marvelous morel.

Some of the wines we will be tasting during the dinner we will be the Estate Blanc – a sauvignon blanc/semillon blend, the 2020 Merlot “Aux Raynauds” – an homage to Dr. Alain Raynauds of Chateau Quinault in St. Emilion who taught David much of what he knows about the wines of Bordeaux.

Pinot Noir Dinner
2025-02-27 19:00 - 21:30

While mostly associated with the Burgundy region of France, Pinot Noir is grown, in mostly cooler climates, around the world. Like most good things, making wine out of Pinot Noir grapes is not easy. The pinot noir grapes are known to be very difficult to cultivate, and require careful handling by an expert winemaker.
During the dinner we will be serving pinot noir as a white sparkling wine, a rose and three expressions of red wine – one from Burgundy, one from Oregon and one from Italy.
Executive chef, Jason Ramos, and his team created a menu to perfectly complement the wines pairing it with duck confit, veal shank and more.
