PALOMA EVENTS
Virtual Wine & Dine
with Paloma Vineyard Winemaker Sheldon Richards & Vancouver Chef Jonah Joffe
4:30-7:30 pm PST July 17, 2021
Sheldon has been involved in the vineyard since his parents, Jim & Barbara Richards, first bought the land back in 1983. He helped clear the trees and collect the stones to make room for the vineyard you know as Paloma. He learned first-hand how to cultivate a great grape from his mother and how to turn those grapes into top tier Napa Valley wine from his father. Now the owner, winemaker & tasting room specialist, Sheldon does it all. If you have ever done a tasting with him, you know you are in for a treat with this event!
Jonah brings 20 years of cooking experience to the virtual dinner table. From humble steakhouse beginnings to West Coast California adventures, Jonah now finds himself deeply immersed in the seasonal cuisine of Vancouver, British Colombia.
Join Jonah and Sheldon for a meal you won't forget.

93 Points Robert Parker: "This is a strong effort from Paloma that has made its reputation for ripe, sexy, full-bodied Merlots. This wine exhibits plenty of plum, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, mocha and coffee bean in a lush, delicious and opulently textured style. It is drinking beautifully already and will continue to evolve for another decade or more."
Details for the Wine & Dine Virtual Cooking Class and Wine Tasting
Plan for 3 hours of delicious eating and social drinking with our hosts Jonah and Sheldon ! Our second Virtual Wine & Dine will bring a taste of Italy home for the summer.
To start us off, Jonah & Sheldon have put together some regional Italian cheese and meat profiles to pair with the spectacular 2013 Paloma Merlot, as well as an Italian counterpart to be annouced to participants. Jonah will take you step by step through the process of making fresh home-made gnocchi, and zabaglione, a beautifully light wine-based custard, while Sheldon opens up the floor to chat wine.
Cooking Class
On July 2nd, we will provide you with event details, including a shopping list with alternatives for items that Jonah feels may be more challenging to source and some minor prep to set you up for success!
