Cadence Winemaker’s Dinner at Salty’s on Alki Beach

Come enjoy Seattle’s best waterfront view as we partner up with winemaker, Ben Smith of Cadence Winery. Recognized by Seattle Magazine as 2012 Winemaker of the Year, Ben will pair his Bordeaux-style blends with a five course menu of fresh, local ingredients prepared by Executive Chef Paolo and Chef Jeremy McLachlan at Salty’s on Alki Beach.

Cadence Winery artfully blends grapes from the finest vineyards in Washington State to create well-balanced varietals reflective of the regional terroir. Recognized by Wine Spectator as one of Washington’s best wineries and voted by Food Republic as one of America’s top-ten urban wineries, Cadence Winery and Ben Smith continue to receive recognition for their beautifully blended varietals.

Indulge in an evening of local wine and seasonal decadence as Sommelier Tim O’Brien, Executive Chef Paolo, and Chef Jeremy McLachlan team up to allure you with delightful cuisine and beautiful wine pairings. Cadence Winery winemaker, Ben Smith will attend the dinner, and the wine will be available for purchase.
