Encore Wine Dinner with Blackbird Vineyards 
and Bill Schlissel

We have been long time fans of Blackbird Vineyards wines.  The Arise blend was one of Gail's favorites, and it has a special place in our hearts.  We're fortunate enough to have Bill Schlissel from Blackbird coming to Raleigh to share stories and history of the Blackbird Vineyards.  He is super knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining!  
It is truly our pleasure to be partnering with our dear friends at Encore for this dinner.  Chef John will create a delectable four course dinner to pair with these Blackbird wines:

Blackbird 2025 “Arriviste” Rosé
Blackbird 2022 “Arise”
Blackbird 2019 “Paramour”
Blackbird 2019 “Illustration”
Blackbird 2017 “Contrarian”

Special sale pricing on these wines will be offered during this event.  

More about Blackbird Vineyards

Under the guidance of acclaimed “Winemaker of the Year” Aaron Pott, we craft Bordeaux inspired wine with incredible Napa Valley grapes. We prefer to be uncaged. Instead of relying on one single vineyard, we spread our wings and source grapes from all over Napa Valley. 

“Every wine in the Blackbird collection is a true expression of the Napa Valley, with each possessing extraordinary structure and finesse. These limited production wines display the complexity extracted from the highest quality fruit and devoted winemaking techniques.”
–Aaron Pott, Winemaker
