While you wine and dine, Nick Ellman (sax + clarinet) and Sam Kuslan (keys) will provide live musical entertainment. Nick Ellman is a New Orleans based performer, composer, producer and educator with a wide range of musical specialties. He’s most widely known as the co-founder of the band Naughty Professors.

The 5-course meal includes unique dishes such as oyster po’boy eclairs smoked oyster ravigote, apple slaw and ghost pepper caviar; bbq’d lobster with an Abita aioli and a king cake beignet served with a moon pie. Definitely not your average meal selections for a wine dinner! View the full course menu below.

ABOUT COPAIN WINERY: “Perched on a hillside, overlooking the bucolic Russian River Valley, Copain embodies the philosophy that wine enhances life’s most joyous occasions, and is an experience best shared with friends and family. “Copain” means “friend” or “buddy” in Frenc. These wines have been long inspired by France’s Rhone Valley wine region resulting in Copain’s signature style of restrained, elegant, and food friendly wines.”
