Quail Distributing – Napa Gala Series at Hearth ’61 featuring Hourglass Winery
Wednesday, Jan. 10
$125 per person, plus attendees purchasing a dinner may stay the night of the dinner at Mountain Shadows for 50 percent off the published guest room rates (based on availability)
Napa Gala is Arizona’s premier trade tasting focused solely on showcasing the wines of Napa Valley. Each year over a dozen of Quail Distributing’s Napa producers present their current, future and in some cases, library releases to a select group of the top wine professionals in our state. The array of attending wineries are paired with some of the area’s finest restaurants and this year Hearth ’61 will be paired with Hourglass Winery. The dinner will be curated by Executive Chef Charles Wiley in his signature cooking style that marries local, seasonal ingredients and time-honored flavors and will feature Hourglass Estates and Blueline Estates wines as well as HGIII Red Blend. The exclusive event will be limited to 50 guests and will feature the winemaker on hand to discuss the wines.

Guests can savor the notes from a current varietal and its counterpart from 10 or more years prior. The dinner party of 30 will be centered around one large table meant to provoke conversation amongst Arizona’s most food and wine obsessed.
