"Flora Springs is a family owned winery that has been producing elegant, complex wines from its Napa Valley estate vineyards for nearly 30 years. They possess an enviable record of critical acclaim: 5 different wine varietals have been listed among Wine Spectator's "Top 100" wines of the world. I have created a menu for this dinner which I believe pairs the ingredients of each course with the complexity of the wine." Jose`
