Urban Legend (Gluten Free!) Holiday Winemaker Dinner
The East Bay has been referred to as "the most densely concentrated urban wine region in the nation" and Steve and Marilee Shaffer, through Urban Legend Cellars
contribute to the exciting once-prospect and now-reality of wine tasting via public transit. They source certified organic grapes whenever possible, produce certain wines that are only available in refillable containers and do all of this in their West Oakland warehouse near Jack London Square in Oakland.
Eric Tucker is looking forward to creating a delicious five course *gluten free* meal to pair with these local and sustainable wines. Steve Shaffer said, "The grapes don't care where they're made into wine". We are just glad these two are the ones making it and that we have Eric to prepare the food. We will be offering 18 seats only at the winemaker's table for this special dinner on our heated and covered patio. Join us on Wednesday, December 21!
