In Honor of Josh Jensen, Calera Winery Dinner

Friday, March 3
7:00 PM
$350
A visionary leader in the American wine community and iconic pioneer of luxury California Pinot Noir, Josh Jensen's legacy is unmatched. Universally respected by his peers, Jensen played a pivotal role in placing Pinot Noir as one of North America's great varietal wines when he founded his winery in 1975. While doing so, he built Calera into one of the world's most revered wineries and spearheaded the Mt. Harlan American Viticultural Area (AVA) monopole, established in 1990.
Join us for an unprecedented evening as longtime Calera Winemaker Mike Waller guides guests through a retrospective lineup of rare selections from his cellar, dating back to the earliest vintages of the winery. Enjoy behind-the-scenes stories and coveted wines as we honor the extraordinary life of Josh Jensen.
