Back in September we attended a wonderful wine dinner at Woolley's Steakhouse. It was a fabulous menu with wonderful wine pairings from Robert Hall Winery. The menu had me sold,

Each course was better than the next, they really spent a lot of time thinking through the menu and sourcing locally.  I don't even know what my favorite course was, but I loved the Foie Gras. 

Another real treat was that Robert Hall, the wine owner was there to walk us through the pairings and also tell us about the history of the winery. It was a wonderful evening, we had a table of 8 fun friends which made the night very memorable.
