Wine and food enthusiasts are invited to join Margi Wierenga, proprietor and winemaker of Brogan Cellars, for a special Winemaker Dinner on May 3, 2012, at Madrona Manor. Nestled in the hills of Napa Valley, Madrona Manor is renowned for its award-winning restaurant. Its Winemaker Dinners are always an elegant and inspirational experience, especially when shared with family or good friends.
The Brogan Cellars Winemaker Dinner will treat guests to five delicious courses, perfectly paired with five of Wierenga?s favorite wines. As guests enjoy their pairings, Wierenga will share her winemaking process, giving her audience a rare glimpse into the life of the winemaker.
Reservations for the dinner can be made by calling Madrona Manor at (707) 433-4231. The cost is $ 150 per person, and seating begins at 6:30 pm. Guests who take advantage of the Madrona Manor?s room specials may also attend a more intimate pre-dinner reception with the winemaker.
Bogan Cellars is a family-run winery in Healdsburg, California that makes Zinfandel, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and a celebrated Pinot Noir. Established in 1998 by Wierenga, Brogan Cellars is a small mom-and-pop winery arranged under a carport roof in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley.
No stranger to winemaking, Wierenga worked at her father?s Williams Selyem Estate Vineyard as a teenager and eventually moved on to open her own operation, which now distributes wines to restaurants and wine bars across California and keeps a 1,500-case production.
Wierenga?s main focus is acquiring the best grapes she can buy from some outstanding properties including Lone Redwood Ranch, Morning Dew Ranch (owned by her father), and Teldeschi Vineyards. Her hands-on approach to winemaking and careful handling of the grapes helps Wierenga extract the best flavors from each vineyard.
?We?re excited to feature Margi at our next Winemaker Dinner, because she has such an interesting background in winemaking and her insight is sure to add an inspiring aspect to the evening,? says Kevin West, manager of Madrona Manor. ?Her wine picks are going to be excellent complements to Chef Mallgren?s courses, as well.?
Nestled in an elegant Victorian estate that is known as one of the finest luxury hotels in Napa or Sonoma counties, the restaurant of Madrona Manor is run by Chef Jesse Mallgren, who has total creative control over the kitchen.
Since 1999, Chef Mallgren has been creating inspired cuisine at the Healdsburg fine dining restaurant.

Sapphire has remodeled one of their ten, world-famous Skyboxes, taking inspiration from Champagne Krug to create an atmosphere that compliments all of Champagne Krug?s fine and exquisite Champagnes. Sapphire Skyboxes provide customers with a more private and intimate setting where customers overlook the main floor where over 400 of the most beautiful entertainers from all over the world entertain and delight customers nightly.

Krug was established in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug in Reims, the largest city in Champagne France. Krug is called the “Champagne of Champagnes”.

Krug Champagne is under the LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) umbrella of fine prestigious luxury items.
