Join us on Monday, December 9 @ 6:30 PM for a fabulous Winemaker Dinner at Vino featuring Matt Nagy of Benevolent Neglect Wines located in Northern California.

Winemaker Matt Nagy is an East Coast escapee who has made California his home. Matt’s day job was making $400+ retail 100-point wines, including Diamond Mountain’s famous Seaver Vineyards, but his passion is Benevolent Neglect, a tiny-production labor of love that is all about crafting the very best wines with the very least of intervention. Here’s Matt's view to his approach to winemaking:

"Minimal intervention is likely the best way to describe our winemaking style. The idea of the winemaker is to be the reliable translator – to take what was made in the vineyard from sun, water, and soil and let it become the finest wine that it can be.

We use very little new oak, no oak substitutes, and no industrial additives. If we get the farming right and the weather co-operates we won’t do any additions of water or acidity to alter the natural balance of the wine. All of our red wines are unfined and unfiltered, with some whites getting filtered simply to ensure stability in bottle for the consumer. We believe in transparent winemaking, doing things the natural way, and being open to experimentation. Most importantly, we want to keep having fun with what we do in the cellar."
We are super pumped to have Matt here presenting a lineup of some of his amazing wines. Chef Regan, after tasting through the wines, artfully crafted the attached menu to showcase the diversity of Matt's wines with food.

Cost is $100 per person (all inclusive with tax and gratuity) and space is limited to 46 people! Please call (919-542-3922) or email ([email protected]) to make your reservations TODAY! RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY THURSDAY 12/05. Credit card information must be provided in order to hold the reservations.

Join us on Saturday, November 9 @ 6 PM for a French Winemaker Dinner at The Rosemary House featuring Maude Autran of Domaine de Piaugier located in the Rhone Valley.

Founded in 1947, Domaine de Piaugier is owned by fourth generation Jean-Marc Autran who took over the winery from his father Marc in 1985. He acquired more vineyards and, with the assistance of his wife Sophie, developed the sale of his wines in bottle. The winery soon became too small so they expanded the footprint in 1995, which enabled them to mature and store the wines in the best possible conditions. Today, Sophie and Jean-Marc Autran, along with their daughter Maude, farm 3.5 hectares within the Gigondas AOC, 12.5 hectares in the Sablet AOC, and 14 hectares of Côtes-du-Rhône vineyards. " Rigor, respect, and patience" is the Piaugier mantra in the vineyards and cellar.

With Maude Autran firmly in place alongside her parents, it is clear that the next generation will uphold the Piaugier tradition of ethically farmed and passionately produced Southern Rhône wines that are vibrant, elegant, and among the region's greatest values. Wine has flowed through Maude Autran’s family veins for four generations, so it was natural for her to pursue the wine world. After completing a master's degree in International Trade in Paris, she continued a year of specialization in Dijon in viticulture and winemaking. As a new graduate, she worked for the Lanson Group in Champagne for 3.5 years, which included 18 months in New York as Export Manager and Brand Ambassador for the Besserat de Bellefon brand. In September 2020, at 27 years old, she decided to come home to France and work with her father to vinify the 2020 vintage of the Piaugier estate. We are more than excited to have Maude here presenting her wines to our customers!

Chef Regan, after tasting through the wines, artfully crafted the below menu to showcase the Piaugier brand and authentic French cuisine.

Cost is $100 per person (all inclusive with tax and gratuity) and space is limited to 32 people! Please call (919-542-3922) or email ([email protected]) to make your reservations TODAY! RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY THURSDAY 11/06. Credit card information must be provided in order to hold the reservations. Proof Wine and Spirits
