A.O.C. Evening Land Vineyards Wine Dinner

Evening Land Vineyards Wine Dinner

Join us on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
Four-Course Dinner, $100 per person

AOC is proud to announce our upcoming dinner featuring the wines of Evening Land Vineyards. Evening Land is the dream wine project, a meeting of some superstar minds of the wine world who are focused on making some of the best pinot noir and chardonnay on the west coast.

Passionate wine lover and businessman, Mark Tarlov put this team together and purchased some acclaimed properties, Seven Spring Vineyard in Oregon, Occidental Vineyard in Sonoma and Odyssey Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills.

He brought on Dominique Lafon of the famed Domaine des Comtes Lafon estate in Meursault to consult along with winemakers Isabelle Mugnier of Burgundy and Sashi Moorman of Stolpman Vineyards and Red Car Wine Company in California. Needless to say, the wines are spectacular and are raising the bar for elegance in winemaking.

Evening Land was named in Wine & Spirits Magazine Top 100 Wineries of 2009, while its 2007 Seven Springs Pinot Noir was included in the 100 Top Wines of 2009.

Winery owner Mark Tarlov will be on hand to discuss the wines and lead us through our four-course dinner and wine pairing.

To reserve, please call AOC at 323.653.6259.
