With estates in California’s Napa Valley, Oregon’s Willamette Valley and Argentina’s Uco Valley. Each wine conveys a distinct sense of time and place. The vision of Dr. Madaiah Revana is comprised of three remarkable brands: Revana, Alexana and Corazon del Sol. Working with the world’s top vineyard managers & winemakers, Dr. Revana provides the guiding philosophy of quality as his paramount goal and that winemaking begins in the vineyard. Bryan Weil has been making wine at Alexana since 2012. His minimalist approach to winemaking allows each vintage to tell the vineyard’s story of the growing season. Utilizing only small lot fermentations and native yeasts, Bryan creates texture driven wines of complexity, sophistication and balance.

Prior to becoming involved with Hill Family Estate, Hill worked in the hospitality business as a dishwasher, busser, food runner, server and sommelier. Hill has worked at Gordon's, Bouchon, George's at The Cove and Nine Ten restaurants. His love for food and wine developed in the restaurant business and has carried through to Hill Family Estate.

Thursday, November 11, 2021: Moffett Vineyards Wine Dinner with Trent Moffett
Thursday, November 11, 2021 at Mandolin Raleigh
2519 Fairview Rd. Raleigh, NC 27608
6:30pm
$135 per person, all-inclusive
I can't think of a better match. Trent Moffett's wines and Fall seasonal foods at Mandolin Retaurant! We were thrilled when Trent said he was coming for a visit. He's one of the most genuine, friendly, and talented winemakers that we know.
Moffett Vineyards traces its legacy to the Livingston Moffett Winery, which was founded in 1976 in the heart of the Napa Valley by Trent Moffetts’ parents, Diane and John. For 22 years Trent helped grow the family winery from the cellars to the marketplace. Upon their retirement and sale of the winery in 2005, a generational transition was made by Trent into his successor Moffett Vineyards.
For 9 years his estate winery was located and functioned atop Howell Mountain above the Napa Valley. It was here that Trent started his love affair with the Pinot Noir grape. In 2014, Trent and his wife Colleen and their three children relocated to Willamette Valley in Oregon. It is here that Trent crafts some amazing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while still keeps his connection with his family's Napa Cabernet.

Oak Farm Vineyards Virtual Tasting with Co-owner/Director of Winemaking, Dan Panella, on April 9, 2021 at 6:30pm EST
Oak Farm Vineyards is a family owned and operated estate winery located in Lodi CA. The property originated in 1860 when William DeVries and his wife Cornelia Crowe farmed wheat and raised cattle. The property has been largely renovated with great attention to its’ heritage. DeVries was an enthusiastic lover of trees, particularly of oaks, and on the home ranch, he never allowed a tree to be cut unless it was a menace. Today, many of the property’s enormous oaks still stand, along with the DeVries family burial plot. The Panella family arrived in the region in 1936, and began an agricultural journey that ultimately culminated with the purchase of Oak Farm in 2004. As a third generation California Farmer, Dan reveled in undertaking the task of replanting the property’s 60 acres of vineyards in 2012 to fufill the vast potential of Lodi. Dan leads a talented team of agricultural specialists to build a diverse portfolio of wines made from estate fruit and selectively sourced grapes. Please join us on April 9th and meet Dan Panella! He will teach us all about the history of their Lodi Estate while guiding us through a tasting of his classic wines.
