Description

Foreign Cinema invites wine enthusiasts to welcome Claypool Cellars and Les Claypool, the lead vocalist and bassist for the alternative rock band Primus, for a special dinner taking place on Thursday, August 23, 2012. Guests may enjoy an exceptional 5-course tasting menu prepared by Chef/Owners Gayle Pirie and John Clark.

For this festive evening, Claypool joins Foreign Cinema’s New Wine Director Shannon Tucker to take guests through a food and wine journey as they pair the flavors of Foreign Cinema’s seasonal, California-Mediterranean cuisine with select wines from Claypool Cellars.
