Jiko "Wine Dinner"

[johnsonet]

My friend and I were lucky enough to be able to snag two spots at the August Jiko Wine Dinner.
I wanted to share our menu for that night. It was an amazing experience! I've put an asterick by my absolute favorites but everything was delicious. The pinot noir was a big hit with everyone that night~
Our menus were also signed by the chefs!

I am booked for this on 9/1...all I know is they have two wineries.

I did the first one back in February and have been waiting to do another.
