I couldn’t possibly tell you how many emails I get about wine dinners every day. Let’s just say, “many.” Seems like the Valley is steeped in vino.
But here’s one that really caught my eye, a special dinner at Lon’s at the Hermosa this Thursday.
First off, the wines are all from Arizona. Among them, Arizona Stronghold, Caduceus, Page Springs Cellars, Burning Tree Cellars, and Cellar Dwellers Wine Co.
Also intriguing is the collaboration between four high-profile local chefs for the five-course meal (check out the menu on the next page). Along with Lon’s executive chef Jeremy Pacheco, Beau MacMillan from elements will be doing a “TBD” course, and Atlas Bistro chefs Joshua Riesner and Keenan Bosworth will cook up homemade gnocchi.

Rounding out the trifecta of intriguing details about this dinner is that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Waste Not.
