Spend an enchanted summer evening under the stars at this Vintner Dinner, complete with fantastic food and good times. The magical partnership is back again this year, as celebrity chef Beau MacMillan returns to the Wine Auction and teams up for another memorable event with the pros from Kosta Browne Winery and Round Pond Estate. You will start the night off with a delightful cocktail hour in the garden at Liz Brown’s gorgeous home in West Ketchum sampling a selection of the wineries’ best offerings to sample matched with tasty bites created by the chef. As the sun sinks slowly behind the hills, the festivities will continue on the expansive lawn under twinkling lights, as MacMillan pulls out all the stops for an outstanding meal. His innovative culinary style will be perfectly matched with Kosta Browne’s perennially sold-out and highly coveted Pinots. And Ryan MacDonnell will be uncorking some of Round Pond’s rare vintages, especially their rich and expressive Cabernets. These highly rated, limited-production Rutherford wines have earned critical praise for their trademark blend of voluptuousness and complexity. This is truly Sun Valley at its finest. It’s time to join the party!
