We offer 3 or 4 wine dinners a year where we pick very special winemakers and wines to pair with hand-crafted, one-night only menus. Prisoner was an obvious choice for our second one of the year. Join us for a 5-Course Wine Pairing on Thursday, April 20 (6:30 p.m.) featuring all The Prisoner Wines: The Prisoner, Blindfold, Cuttings, Saldo and Thorn.

About the Prisoner Wine Company
“We work with passionate, devoted growers to source varietals from the best vineyards and appellations located across California in order to create interesting wine blends that are thought provoking and approachable.”
The Prisoner was created and inspired by the drinkable “mixed blacks” first made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in the Napa Valley. In 2003 The Prisoner was launched and soon became the most recognized innovative and unique Napa Valley Red Wine blend, leading the resurgence of blends by incorporating Zinfandel with the unlikely “mix” of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Charbono.
