Adam worked at Zaca Mesa in the late ’70s and started Au Bon Climat with Jim Clendenen in 1982. He’s been at it ever since, making some of the best artisanal, hand crafted wines in California.  We will be tasting 4 outstanding wines from this iconic producer.  Fabien Castel will be at the bar pouring theirSauvignon Blanc, Grenache, Pinot Noir, andChardonnay.  If you like good wine, you should not miss this.
