Carpe Diem
I think you will agree that one of the great pleasures in life is to enjoy a well-prepared meal with equally high-quality wine. Add to that the experience of sitting down next to the winemaker and learning about the trials and tribulations that went into developing such oenoligistic bliss and you’ll leave with a scrapbook memory forever. Carpe Diem Wine Bar in Napa believes in seizing every day, as their name suggests, and “encourages people to enjoy life and its many wonders with wine, food, and good company.” Girard agrees with this philosophy and would like to invite you to attend our winemaker’s dinner at Carpe Diem this Sunday, January 30th at 6:30pm to enjoy the company of our esteemed winemaker, Zach Long, as well as simply great food and wine.
If you attend, please come back and share your experience with us here on the blog. Cheers!
