Hot Date: Duckhorn Vineyards wine dinner at Cool River Cafe this Saturday, April 5

Rodman Shields, the super-talented exec chef of Cool River Cafe in Las Colinas, says he’s planned a terrific dinner to pair with bottles of Dan Duckhorn’s equally terrific Napa wines. Saturday, April 5, 7 p.m. The meal will set you back $89 +++ (the third + is for a billion calories). Sauv blanc, chardonnay, pinot, merlot and zin will be poured. Duckhorn Vineyards’ Ashley O’Leary will offer tasting notes and insight. Rodman will cook.

What’s on the menu? Shields typed it up and shares it here. Hope to see you there. I’ll be the one hogging the magnum of Three Palms merlot.
