43RD ANNIVERSARY EVENT AT T-PRIME STEAKHOUSE
Alan Hitchcock, President

To celebrate our 43rd year of success, the Wine Society of East Tennessee is hosting a special anniversary event with our newest member restaurant, T-Prime Steak and Seafood, at Avalon Country Club. We are featuring wine selections from the Duckhorn Vineyards of Napa Valley. Co-founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has spent forty years establishing itself as one of North America’s premier producers of Napa Valley wines. T-Prime’s Chef Jon Mancuso, who is trained in classic French cooking, has served the wines during a previous private event, so the wine and food pairings have been expertly matched. Our special guest is Lisa Sweeny, representing Duckhorn Winery, who will be joining us via video link from California to tell us about the winery and the wine selections during the evening. T-Prime adheres to local safety regulations and each table is placed six feet apart with no more than ten people per table.

Duckhorn Chardonnay - This deliciously bright and inviting Chardonnay offers layers of apricot, citrus and green apple, as well as hints of fresh honeysuckle and cinnamon.
