10/20: Neyers & Kermit Lynch Wine Dinner: A California Ode to France

Eastern Standard has long been a favorite stop for winemaker Bruce Neyers on his visits to Boston, making it the ideal setting to celebrate the enduring connection between Napa Valley’s Neyers Vineyards and the Old World producers he came to know through his work with legendary importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant— whose French storied domaines continue to inspire the Neyers portfolio today.

Founded in the early 1980s by Bruce and Barbara Neyers, Neyers Winery has become a benchmark in California winemaking for its embrace of Old-World tradition. Bruce’s decades of collaboration with Kermit Lynch shaped the Neyers philosophy of sustainable farming, natural winemaking, and authenticity in every glass.

This special evening will be led by Brittany Galbraith of Kermit Lynch and James Bishop of Trinchero Family Estates, who will guide guests through an exploration of side-by-side pairings: a Neyers wine alongside its French counterpart from the Kermit Lynch portfolio.

The evening begins with a reception and continues with four seasonally inspired courses by the Eastern Standard culinary team, highlighting the dialogue between Sonoma and Chablis, Carneros and Burgundy, Russian River Valley and Savigny-lès-Beaune & more.
