The Local Grape

Featuring Chef Sadie Taylor and wines from the Sierra Foothills A.V.A.

Yep, we’re doing it again! Join us on March 28th, for The Local Grape’s second Wine Dinner of 2022!

Last month’s wine dinner went so well, we figured this record needs to be on repeat!

Chef Taylor is back on the books with us to create a dinner experience allowing The Local Grape to continue highlighting curated wines from the viticultural highways and byways of the Sierra Foothills A.V.A.

The evening will tickle tastebuds and play with your palate as you wine and dine through four courses prepared by Chef Taylor, paired with wines from El Dorado, Amador, and Placer counties; each pairing designed to complement the flavors of course and vintage.

Sign up now for a memorable gastronomic and oenological experience at the Historic Gold Coin, Downtown Mariposa!

Dinner service will start at 6 p.m. or join us early at 5 p.m. for cocktail hour.  🙂

Reservations are Limited.

Chef Taylor

Our new friend in the Sierras, Chef Sadie Taylor began cooking as a kid and now specializes in private cheffing near Yosemite.

Sadie was brought up in her family’s restaurant business— learning by doing, she mastered what was on offer and has continuously expanded a unique culinary repertoire in her ventures.

Chef Taylor’s style focuses on supporting local, small farmers and using the season’s best offerings in creating a special take on California fare while crafting menus that are both experimental and approachable, thriving on cooking for the community, from what the community has to offer.

From the Wineries
  • Lava Cap Winery, 2019 Chardonnay Reserve.
    “Full-bodied and subtly spicy. Balances attractive ripe apple and pear flavors against bright acidity as light accents of vanilla, butter and toast heighten the palate. It is polished and complete.”
    —Jim Gordon, Contributing Editor at Wine Enthusiast
  • Madroña Vineyards, 2019 Gewürztraminer.
    Modeled after the dry, full bodied Gewurztraminers of Alsace, consistently exhibits an intense rose-petal character, accented by hints of citrus and spice. Cool, high-elevation vineyards are well-suited to this variety and allow the grapes to achieve ripeness while retaining a balanced acidity.
  • Dillian Wines, 2018 Syrah.
  • Wise Villa Winery, 2019 Midnight Delight, Moscato.
    Beautiful pale golden color and gorgeous aromas. Lychee and peony blossom on the nose with notes of kiwi and passion fruit on the palate. Clean finish.
