Bruce Cass Wine Lab is uniquely situated in the San Francisco Bay Area, where experimentation with food and wine pairing is almost a social obligation. The currents of several historic cultural cuisines intermingle here with the flow of a dynamic wine industry, a salubrious climate able to produce foodstuffs year-round, and the pulse of a diverse, well-traveled population.
It is our intention to take advantage of these resources by offering wine dinners with Bruce in excellent restaurants where 8 to 10 courses of food will be matched with 16 to 20 wines in a sit-down, family style format. These top-of-the-line restaurants are chosen for the quality of their food. Bruce will bring the wines--a selection of superb examples from all over the globe. At restaurant prices, the wines alone would cost $100 to $150 per person.
