On Friday March 25th John Wright Restaurant will feature the wines from Naylor Cellars. The dinner consists of four courses plus hors d’oeuvres with wine pairings for $65 per person. For instance during the dinner you will savor braised local pork with wild mushroom and sage risotto paired with the Naylor Chambourcin. Cullari Veinyards is also offering a winemaker dinner on Friday, March 25th at The Commonwealth Room at the Yorktowne Hotel.
