Winemaker Dinner with Big Basin

Big Basin is a local vineyard that consistently generates National attention. Their wines have caught the attention of Robert Parker Jr, Stephen Tanzer, Wine Spectator and Jeb Dunnuck of The Rhone Report, who consistently award the wines top scores. Antonio Galloni of The Wine Advocate recently had this to say: "Bradley Brown crafts gorgeous artisan wines from his vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Monterey County....As good as these wines are – and they are often outstanding – my feeling is that Brown has just scratched the surface of his potential."

Not to be outdone by the wine, Purple Onion Cafe chef and partner, Steve Angelo, has crafted a stellar menu brimming with fresh, seasonal ingredients. In the company of friends, at our family-style tables, you can’t help but have an amazing time.
