Vermont Wine Merchants Co.

Vermont Wine Merchants Co. In this age of increasing consolidation, ‘big company’ buyouts, and mass production, Old Bridge Cellars is a group of Australian winemakers who retain their belief in artisan winemaking. Respecting the land and with minimal intervention in the winery, they keep their wine true to the soil from which it comes. We will b...e featuring the wines of the legendary property, D’Arenburg, and we will taste several vintages with Ethan Hunt from Old Bridge Cellars. Paired with the exceptional
cuisine of our own Executive Chef David Coolidge, it promises to be a memorable night.
