Summer’s here and it’s high time for some sunshine, wine and good cheer.  What’s missing?  Oh, yeah.  Barbecue!  Slap some mesquite roasted certified Angus tri tip on the grill, and you have a wine dinner that sizzles with Chef Matthew Ramey’s signature style.

Van Duzer Vineyards will host the first in a series of three wine dinners this summer in Madison’s Loft where fellow wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs will enjoy a delectable four course dinner with featured wine parings.
