Another hugely successful wine dinner! Perfect pairings of food and wine. The Quintessa red blend being one of my favorites, I was more than happy to attend. Oysters, scallops, duck breast and Wagyu beef all prepared to perfection and paired with some very fine wines. Hats off to Brian, Allison, Monica and Lauren for outstanding service and presentation. Also to the 2 young Chefs (names escape me) for preparing such a fine assortment of delicious food. Can't wait for the next wine dinner!

I ordered a medium rare steak and it came out well done as can be. Disappointing for a steakhouse.

Impeccable service with great attention to detail. Extensive wine list but somewhat pricey. My wife and I both had steaks that were cooked perfectly and just as we ordered them.

We attended the Robert Craig Wine Dinner on Thursday, August 22nd, 2024. It was held across the street from the Strathallan Hotel in the Century Club House. Great location, very comfortable. The food was incredible and the chef did a wonderful job with pairing it with the Robert Craig Wines. We look forward to attend more of these wine dinners here.
