Have Dinner with Peter Mondavi Jr at Morton’s New Steakhouse

Third-generation wine scion Peter Mondavi Jr. will host a Charles Krug wine dinner on Wednesday, March 23 at the new Morton’s, the Steakhouse (I hate that name). The $150 dinner (all inclusive) begins with a wine reception then progresses through five courses paired with Krug wines–including their 1980 Napa cabernet sauvignon.

And because this is also a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, there will be an auction for items that includes a 27-liter bottle of 2006 Charles Krug-Peter Mondavi Family Vintage Selection Cab Sauv – Napa Valley.

Here’s the menu:
