Honored Guests
Melka Estates | Cherie & Philippe Melka
As co-proprietors and winemakers for Melka Estates, Phillipe and Cherie produce four distinct brands that reflect their philosophy of soil driven wines: Métisse from Napa Valley, Mekerra from Sonoma Valley, Majestique from sites around the world and CJ, also from Napa Valley.
FEATURED RECEPTION WINES
l’Eté du Vin Wine Tasting Reception will feature wines from our Guest of Honor and our featured vintners.
While l’Eté du Vin features outstanding wines during the reception, we do not provide wine during dinner itself. Most of our patrons wish to bring their own cellar favorites to share with their table. We invite you to BRING YOUR OWN WINE for dinner. Volunteers will be on hand to assist in placing your dinner wine on your table during the reception.
