Sunday, September 18: An evening with St. Innocent

Mark Vlossak, the idiosyncratic partner and winemaker at St. Innocent Winery, is coming to Bend for another winemaker dinner at the Jackalope Grill.  If you know what is going on in the winery this time of year, you’ll know that it is an honor for Mark to give us his time for our Wine Maker’s Dinner. St. Innocent produces small lots of handmade, vineyard-designated wine from some of the best sites in the Willamette Valley. Year after year, St. Innocent Winery has received recognition from throughout the country and around the world for its outstanding Pinot noir, beautifully crafted white wines, and fair pricing. Mark says, “My goal is to produce wines that are balanced, complex, and age worthy that reflect the nuances of their terroir.” Quoting Jay Miller in the Wine Advocate: “Mark Vlossak continues to turn out some of Wilamette Valley’s finest wines in his new digs in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. I have been working with Mark on the menu. If you remember the 2009 dinner, this again will be an event not to be missed.
