On Tuesday, March 23rd, Uproot Restaurant in Warren, New Jersey, will host its first wine dinner with guest winemakers Morgan Clendenen and Ed Kurtzman.
Morgan Clendenen, “The Queen of Viognier,” will present some very interesting Viognier from her Cold Heaven Cellars label. Ed Kurtzman will be on hand to showcase his wines made under the August West label. Mr. Kurtzman will introduce the amazing pinot noirs for which August West is justly famous, as well as the syrah and chardonnay that are also produced under that label.
