    So thrilled Cafe Modern has brought back the Wine Dinner series at Cafe Modern. Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Van Duzer Vineyards dinner and it was one of the top dining experience I've ever had. From the innovative, ingredient forward menu created by Chef Jett to the elevated wine pairings of Van Duzer's block pinots highlighted by Winemaker Eric Misiewicz, to the open kitchen concept so guests can see the process and how the menu elements paired with the wines, made for an informative, educational and delicious evening. It truly was an artform to see how the evening was orchestrated, highlighting the teamwork behind your dining and tasting experience. Sign me up for the next one, please!
