We still have a few slots available for the Leal Winemaker Dinner on July 27th, 7:00 PM. The heatwave is about to break, so you may feel like eating and drinking again by Thurdsay. The menu is posted on our website. Call us to reserve your spot. Remember we are now offering a 10% discount for groups of five or more.
The current Artist on display in the restaurant is Karen Honaker. Her watercolors are amazingly vibrant, not "Wishy Washy" in the least. Many of them are food and wine themed. There is even one of my torso and hand (drinking a glass of Savannah Chanelle wine). I’m a big fan of Karen’s paintings.
We will be hosting her Art Show/Reception on August 6th, 3-5 pm. Please stop by for art, wine and a bite. It's free as always!Thank you for all of your support.

For those of you who have yet to subscribe to our email list, here is a copy of the last one.
Greetings!
Normally I start off by complaining about something, usually the weather. This time, I don’t think I have anything to complain about, it is BEAUTIFUL in Saratoga this time of the year. I drive to work in the morning with the top down on my car, and leave at night with the top down as well. It doesn’t get any better for a convertible owner to have 24 hour a day “top-down-ability”.
On the seasonal information front, summer produce has been a bit slow to materialize. We are two to three weeks behind schedule. However, we have seen the first good heirloom tomatoes, summer squash and corn are strong as well as some wonderful greens coming from Happy Boy Farms. Makes me a happy Chef! Stay tuned for peppers, stonefruit and much more a bit later.
I have been trying to bulk up on some summer wines by the glass. Highlights include a delightful Pinot Noir Dry Rose from Pelican Ranch (This is NOT your mamas “White Zinfandel”!), an Aligote from Shooting Star (The “other” white grape from Burgundy, think Sav Blanc meets Chardonnay) and my favorite Varner “Amphitheatre Block” Chardonnay by the glass as well.
In the commercial/propaganda portion of this email, we have a winemaker dinner on Thursday July 27th with Leal vineyards from Hollister. Before you skeptically ask the question “What! Good wine in Hollister???”, let me answer your question with a resounding “YES, great wine, Leal”. Wonderful wines, Menu is below and on the webiste.
If you are thinking of booking a group of five or more people for a winemaker dinner we are offering a discount (10% for the whole group) for helping us "get the word out" to your friends. Please email Ann Combs (our wonderful manager), here for more details.
