We have been long time fans of Blackbird Vineyards wines. The Arise blend was one of Gail’s favorites, and it has a special place in our hearts. We’re fortunate enough to have Bill Schlissel from Blackbird coming to Raleigh to share stories and history of the Blackbird Vineyards. He is super knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining!
It is truly our pleasure to be partnering with our dear friends at Encore for this dinner. Chef John will create a delectable four course dinner to pair with these Blackbird wines:
Blackbird 2025 “Arriviste” Rosé
Blackbird 2022 “Arise”
Blackbird 2019 “Paramour”
Blackbird 2019 “Illustration”
Blackbird 2017 “Contrarian”
