Local wine lovers are in for a treat.
Hester Creek Estate Winery and Wild Rice Restaurant at the River Market are hosting a winemaker's dinner on Wednesday, Sept. 18. It starts at 6:30 p.m. Hester Creek winemaker Rob Summers and general manager Mark Sheridan will bring the latest releases of their award-winning wines for the evening.

With the Hester Creek Chardonnay 2012, diners will dine on salmon tartar with wonton crisps. Duck confit spring rolls will be matched with the Character Red 2012, and the classic main course, beef bourguignon, will be paired with the award-winning Reserve Block 3 Cabernet Franc 2010. With dessert, diners will enjoy the Late Harvest Pinot Blanc 2012.
