J Vineyards & Winery Wine Dinner

Instructor: Melissa Stackhouse, Winemaker, J Vineyards & Winery, Russian River Valley

Founded by Judy Jordan in 1986, J Vineyards & Winery began as a producer of critically-acclaimed sparkling wines. Judy soon came to the realization that her vineyards would also be ideal for producing site-specific, cool-climate Russian River Valley varietal wines like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris. Accompanying Judy on this exploration of wine excellence is Winemaker, Melissa Stackhouse, who has become a knowledgeable expert on all aspects of the Russian River Valley terrain. You'll learn about the climate and soil that produces these excellent wines and pick up tips on pairing them with a variety of dishes. Our Cooking School staff will make dishes that have been created by the J Winery Chef to perfectly complement each selection from the vineyards.
