Morgan’s in the desert invites you to join us for our monthly Winemaker Dinner on Tuesday, November 14, featuring Grgich Hills Estate.
Miljenko “Mike” Grgich is a legendary winemaker and founder of Grgich Hills Estate in Napa Valley, California. Born in Croatia in 1923, he began his winemaking career in Europe before coming to the United States. In 1976, he gained international recognition when a Chardonnay he created won the famous “Judgment of Paris” wine tasting.
He went on to establish his own winery, Grgich Hills Estate, in 1977, where he produces world-class wines that reflect his commitment to quality and sustainable farming practices.
Today, at the age of 100, he continues to be actively involved in the winery and is an icon in the wine industry.
A special prix fixe dinner menu created and prepared for the occasion by Morgan’s culinary team will be served with the evening’s wine selections – paired in perfect harmony, of course.
We look forward to sharing with you a memorable dining experience of fine wine and exceptional cuisine as we “take flight” on this very special evening.
