Morton’s and the Mondavi Families: Celebrating the Legendary Blend

Steak and wine, in my mind go hand in hand.  I love a delicious pure tasting steak, complimented by a perfectly spiced, warming glass of red wine.  To me, there is no better pairing.  On Thursday, October 7, Morton's is bringing this match made in heaven to an all new level by hosting  the largest ever Virtual Wine Makers dinner.  In history breaking fashion the Mondavi families are setting aside their differences and coming together in one grand fashion.  Michael Mondavi of Folio Fine Wine Partners, Tim Mondavi and Marcia Mondavi Borger of Continuum Estate and Peter Mondavi, Sr., Peter Mondavi, Jr. and Marc Mondavi of Charles Krug Winery will all be broadcasting live from the Carriage House at the Charles Krug Winery in Napa, into the private dining rooms at Morton's across the US as they lead their dinner guests on a tour of their vineyards, all paired with the cuisine of Morton's.

This promises to be an incredible evening.  I have always been a fan of the Mondavi Vineyards and have found their wines to be consistently delicious.   Though a bit pricey- this event may just be worth it!!
