Nick & Toni’s will host the last in their spring series of wine
dinners Thursday, May 2nd beginning at 6:30 p.m. Guests will escape to France’s Rhône Valley;
tasting indigenous grape varieties from both the northern and southern appellations of the Rhône,
paired with traditional, regional dishes. The progressive five-course menu crafted by Chef de
Cuisine Courtney Sypher Barylski and Pastry Chef Kelsey Roden, features wines new to the U.S.
market selected by Honest Man Hospitality’s Beverage Director Chimene Macnaughton. Diners
will experience these producers’ stories guided by the wines’ importer, Lyle Railsback. The cost
is $135 per person, plus tax and gratuity, for the five-course dinner. Wines from the menu will be
available with special event pricing pre-order directly through Jacques Franey of Domaine Franey
on the night of the event.

“GETAWAY Thursday evenings are designed to be a bit of a departure for all of us … last spring’s ‘FRANCE: Tour de Terroir’ escape was our best-attended Getaway of 2023, stitching courses together by their common terroir, we joined up with the winemakers we dubbed the ‘Limestone Cowboys.’ May 2nd, we’re bringing back the French fun, finishing with fromage, mais oui! We’ll taste indigenous grape varieties in their best light; from the best barely pink-kissed Bandol rosé you’ve never tasted, to a syrah so profound, it’s clear we’re discovering the next great Saint-Joseph producer together – these one night only experiences have inspired some real-life wine travels and we’re already looking forward to November’s Getaway!” shares Honest Man Hospitality Beverage Director, Chimene Macnaughton.
