Taylor's Wine Shop is so excited to offer this opportunity to our fans of Fine Wine and the Carolina Hurricanes.  Vineyard 36 owners Jason Earnest and Cam Ward will be joining us for our annual V36 Wine Dinner at Encore Ristorante!  With Keith Emerson as their winemaker, the V36 wines have simply gotten better each vintage.  2023 should go down in the books as one of the best Napa Valley vintages ever, and the V36 wines are gorgeous.  The long hang time for the fruit allowed for optimal flavor development, tannin ripeness, and bright acidity, creating wines of exceptional balance, quality, and age-worthiness.  

Encore Ristorante is a favorite of ours, and Chef John Scarangella and his professional staff are top notch.
