A drizzly evening in early May set the stage for an incredible night of Zinfandel and family style dining at Limerick Lane Cellars in Heladsburg, Ca. Members of the Historical Vineyard Society were treated to an ‘old school’ menu of classic Italian-American standards like meatballs, grilled beef tri-tip, balsamic dressed spring lettuces and locally baked foccacia bread. This was winery dining at its essence with guests seated for dinner inside the barrel room with views out the back to old vines and rolling green hills. Bay Laurel Culinary was born from on location, vineyard cooking as well as working closely with wineries and winemakers to provide a truly iconic Sonoma County food and wine experience. We were honored to be asked to be a part of such an ‘historic’ dinner.
