  • Defiance Ridge Vineyards 2711 South Missouri 94 Defiance, MO, 63341 United States (map)

If you are a true wine aficionado, this is an event you will not want to miss! Join Owner & Certified Sommelier Chuck Gillentine for a unique five-course dinner featuring wines from his private collection paired with divine courses hand-crafted by our Executive Chef Kris Maurer.

Note from Chuck:

My position in the wine business allows me to travel from time to time and create incredible relationships.  Some we partner with, some I send customers to on referral, and some I just visit because I love the AVAs they are in or I’ve heard wonderful things about that certain winery.  Being in the industry allows me incredible tasting opportunities. Therefore, why not share these wonderful wines, wineries, and history with others? We hope you’ll join us for our truly unique bi-monthly dinner series celebrating remarkable wines and wonderful cuisine.
