SUMMARY:Fallendown Tree Vineyards Wine Tasting Dinner at El Rincon Criollo\, Playa del Rey

Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways\nSpecial Guests: Jeanne & Mark Burmeister\, owners  \nThursday\, July 30\, 2026 at 6:30 PM\n$130 per person\, plus tax and gratuity \nEveryone has a dream and Jeanne and Mark Burmeister were no different- they wanted to retire on a beautiful\, small vineyard. However\, rather than purchasing an existing vineyard\, they chose to buy some land in Monterey County’s wine region and literally start from scratch in 2013. The amount of work involved soon overwhelmed them and they realized they needed to turn this into a “family affair”. Luckily\, their kids and grandkids joined in and from 2016-2021\, their land became a planted vineyard. The small production wines began to be bottled in the early 2020’s and over the last 5 years\, have continued to win awards and accolades in virtually every tasting/competition they take part in. It turns out that dreams can come true\, especially when family and friends pitch in! Tonight\, you’ll have the opportunity to taste 5 of their lovely wines\, each perfectly paired with amazing cuisine from El Rincon Criollo’s culinary team. Wines will also be available for ordering at special “tonight only” prices so you can add them to your wine fridge/closet. Gourmet Wine Getaways’ Wine Expert Peter Kerr will be joined by Jeanne and Mark to talk about their wines and how they are “living the dream”. Attendance is limited so book early to ensure your seats. \nMENU\nPeach & Burrata Salad \n2025 Fallendown Tree Sauvignon Blanc \nA Roasted & Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Cap\n2023 Fallendown Tree “le Christophe” (Sangiovese/Cabernet blend) \nSquid ink Risotto \n2023 Fallendown Tree 2023 “Querencia” Malbec Reserve \nRoasted root veggies with Gorgonzola \n2023 Fallendown Tree Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve  \nBraised Oxtail with fresh summer corn \n2022 Fallendown Tree “Parallel Vines” Syrah \nA Sweet Ending \nPrepaid reservations are essential\, as seating is limited.
