Field to Glass Wine Dinner Series 2019~Left Bank Larkspur

Come Join the Cru and Let’s Get Corked!

Join us in 2019 as we have gathered a select group of dedicated winemakers and wine professionals from all around the world and invited them to share their stories with us.

We seek out family owned wineries whose wines have been featured on our wine list. We look for people who share some of the same philosophies that are important to us at Left Bank Brasserie Larkspur; good stewards of the land, those with sustainable business practices, and of course, good wines.

Each month we are hosting a 4 course wine dinner with sparkling wine reception, to savor these delicious wines as they were meant to be, with good friends and delicious food!

“Best of the Vine”

Our original name, La Crema Viñera, means “best of the vine,” setting the standard for all we do since 1979. From our home in the Russian River Valley, we’ve explored the best cool-climate growing regions in California through the lens of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We seek areas where ocean winds and fog allow grapes to ripen slowly on the vine, developing complex flavors and aromas.

We have dedicated 40 years to exploring the many expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from California and Oregon’s finest winegrowing regions. Our winemaking philosophy is to express the essence of the terroir in our wines, capturing the unique personality and flavor profile of the vineyards. Craig McAllister, Head Winemaker, infuses our winemaking regime with a highly personal touch that combines the best of traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques with a contemporary California style.
