LDV Winery and Merkin Vineyards Present Holiday Winemaker Dinner Under the Stars

On Thursday, December 2 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., wine and culinary enthusiasts are invited to enjoy a wine-centric and sustainability-focused evening at the Holiday Winemaker Dinner Under the Stars with LDV Winery and Merkin Vineyards.

Taking place at the Scottsdale Waterfront Plaza off Stetson Drive adjacent to the LDV Winery Tasting Room, the event begins at 6:00 p.m. with a welcome wine reception featuring passed appetizers. Guests can sip and nibble while enjoying live performances by Saxophonist Rochelle Romeo. At 6:30 p.m. seating begins, and the three-course dinner is kicked off by winery introductions and a discussion about sustainability in winemaking. With the presentation of each plate, Chef Steve Zimmerman will introduce the course and each winery will explain the wine pairings. Tentative menu (dependent on the availability of local products) is as follows:

First Course — Winter Salad featuring local produce and cheese, Noble Bread and LDV Winery olive oils and balsamic

Second Course — Wine-Braised Short Ribs with ricotta gnocchi

Third Course — Chocolate Flourless Torte with ganache and raspberry coulis

Wines from LDV Winery and Merkin Vineyards will be offered with each course, and winemakers will discuss the wine pairings. The theme of sustainability will be carried through the event, which will use sustainable products throughout its presentations.

The evening will also include a live auction featuring two incredible winery experiences donated from each winery that will benefit the Southwest Wine Center.
