Wine Tasting - Oxbow Wine Merchant and Paradigm Winery November 19, 2008

It's a Harvest Party with Paradigm Here At Oxbow Wine Merchant!

Join us at our new shop in Napa on Wednesday, November 19th, from 5:00-8:00pm, as we continue the Oxbow Wine Bar Producer Flights with special guest Ren Harris, owner of Paradigm Winery. Ren and Marilyn Harris decided to get into the Thanksgiving spirit early and celebrate harvest with an amazing lineup of wines, including a five year vertical of their delicious Cabernet Sauvignon going back to 1996. Due to their generosity, we are serving seven wines this special evening, instead of our traditional five. In addition, they sourced some amazing farm-raised beef fillets from a friend in Iowa and our Chef Miguel is putting his secret dry rub on them, grilling them, slicing them onto fresh baguette and serving them accompanied by two artisan cheeses from the Oxbow Cheese Merchant. This perfectly paired combination should prove to be pretty mouthwatering and satisfying. All of this bounty will be served on this celebratory evening for the amazing price of just $25. So quit watching the stock market and swing on down to the Oxbow Public Market and help Paradigm and Oxbow Wine Merchant celebrate the beginning of the holiday season. It's an outstanding bargain!

Paradigm Winery is owned and managed by Ren and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn's grandparents immigrated from Italy to Napa Valley in 1890, while Ren's family came to California in 1769. Marilyn and Ren purchased Paradigm Vineyards in 1976, and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage. Since that first vintage, the wines have been made by renowned winemaker, Heidi Peterson Barrett.

We know you won't want to miss this opportunity to meet the owner, taste through a flight of his wines, and sample some of this scrumptious food. So come on down and help us welcome this charming man, Ren Harris, to Oxbow Wine Merchant. It's a Party!!

The featured wines are served as two ounce glasses. If you would like a full glass just ask your bartender. Most of the wines will also be available for retail purchase.
