About this Event
Travelling from California to Oregon, we’ll discover distinctive terroirs, grape varieties, and winemaking philosophies, and explore how a new generation of American fine wine has been shaped by both European tradition and an unwavering commitment to innovation.
The evening will be hosted by Andrew Meltzer, U.S. Brand Ambassador for Berkmann Wine Cellars, who works closely with leading American wineries to bring their wines, stories, and unique sense of place to the UK.
The producers Andrew Meltzer will be hosting are:
Ridge Vineyards – A benchmark of California winemaking since the early 1960s.
Buena Vista Winery – Founded in Sonoma in 1857, Buena Vista is California’s oldest commercial winery.
Roserock by Domaine Drouhin Oregon – Set in the windswept Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Roserock combines Burgundian heritage with the distinctive volcanic soils and cool-climate character of Oregon.
Alongside a fascinating presentation of American wines, you will be served a four course menu crafted by the team to perfectly compliment your wine experience:

Smoked chalk stream trout, caper emulsion, sustainable caviar
Northumberland estate’s pheasant, wholegrain mustard, rosemary feuilleté
Slow cooked beef shin, bone marrow crust, Bourgignon sauce
