Winemaker Dinners

A great bottle of wine is an artistic expression of terroir, varietal character and the winemaker's passion. We have selected wines from around the globe, showcasing small artisan producers as well as the world's most famous estates for our distinctive wine list. In that tradition, LON's sommelier would like to invite you to join him for this year's season of our Winemaker Dinner program. Throughout the year, LON's has invited several vintners throughout the globe to display their wine making talents by pairing their vintages with the Artful American cuisine.
