Le Colonial in San Francisco will host a Flora Springs Family Estate wine paired dinner on Friday, May 31 beginning with a 6:30 p.m. reception and talk by special guest Richard Tiedemann followed by a 7:00 p.m. dinner. Priced at $150.00 per person, guests will be able to enjoy a five-course menu paired with selected Flora Springs Napa Valley Family Estate vintages including Trilogy 2015. The price does not include tax or gratuity. Tickets and more information can be found at http://www.lecolonialsf.com/winedinnerrsv.
Flora Springs was founded in 1978, but their legacy dates back to the late 1800s when wine grapes were first planted on the Napa Valley property that is now the estate home. They are highly selective in the wines they bottle, adhering to the guiding principle of putting quality above quantity.
Always offered for dinner at Le Colonial are their acclaimed Vietnamese dishes with French colonial flair. Complementing this menu is the restaurant’s international wine list comprised of French and domestic vintages, plus wines from Chile, Argentina, New Zealand and elsewhere.
The atmosphere at Le Colonial evokes the elegance of Vietnam in the 1920s. Highlights include mosaic-like tile flooring, a vaulted pressed-tin ceiling, shuttered windows, ceiling fans, plush rattan furniture and tropical plants, all accented by the glow of candlelight. Vintage black and white photographs of life at the turn of the century adorn the walls.
Le Colonial is located at 20 Cosmo Place between Sutter and Post and Jones and Taylor. The restaurant is open nightly for dinner, Sunday through Wednesday from 5:30 to 10:00 p.m. and Thursday to Saturday, 5:30 to 11:00 p.m. Valet parking is available. Visit Le Colonial on the web at
