Dear members,
For the month of February , the society is pleased to host Ed Skupien, Director of Sales of Frank Family Vineyards ,a Napa Valley boutique winery at a dinner featuring the East meet West cuisine of Table at 7.
Frank Family Vineyards
Located in the historic “Hanns Kornell” winery in Calistoga (the 3rd oldest winery in Napa), Frank Family Vineyards is owned by longtime Disney executive Rich Frank and Connie Frank. During his wildly successful long-term career in Hollywood, Rich was Chairman of Walt Disney Television and Telecommunications , headed Disney’s syndication arm Buena Vista and was President of Walt Disney Studios for nearly a decade. Rich’s passion for Napa Valley wines led to the Franks purchase of the Larkmead winery with friend Koerner Rombauer in 1992. In January 2007, Rich Frank and his family assumed total control of Frank Family Vineyards. The limited-production, fruit-forward, yet balanced Frank Family wines have a loyal following that is due both to the popularity of Winemaker Todd Graff’s “blockbuster” wines and the convivial tasting room at the winery.
Frank Family Vineyards wines are produced in small quantities and currently sold only at the winery and a handful of selected restaurants and specialty retailers. A firm favourite with Robert Parker Jr, the Cabernet Sauvignons are consistently highly rated by him. We are fortunate to feature their Cabernet Sauvignon, their limited production Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon as well as their flagship Winston Hill Cabernet Blend, all from the superb 2007 vintage. The Reserve and the Winston Hill are made in very small batches from select lots on the Winston Hill Vineyard, Rich Frank’s personal hillside estate in the heart of Rutherford, and are available on an allocation/mailing list basis only.
The society is grateful to Water and Wine for making this event possible.
Table at 7
Table at 7 features the unique team of Veteran restaurateurs Karl Dobler and Eugenia Ong who bring to the table a total of more than 60 years of varied culinary expertise. Karl’s reputation in Singapore as a private chef and Eugenia’s catering business limited their abilities to share their talent and passion with a wider audience. With the establishment of Table at 7, both chefs have found the perfect platform to showcase their culinary craft and technique. In a two prong, East meets West approach, the chefs cater to discerning gourmands with cuisine prepared by Karl based on Modern European fare and gourmet Indonesian carefully crafted by Eugenia. We are pleased to present a menu featuring the best of both cuisines.
