Chef Keith Taylor
Table 33 is hosting an exclusive wine dinner with a special menu created by Executive Chef, Keith Taylor, and Sous Chef, Justin Gall, paired with Titus Wines on Wed, May 7th. There will be two seatings, 5:30pm or 7:30pm. Joining them for the wine pairing will be Dinner with Napa Valley Winemaker & Owner of Titus Wines, Eric Titus.
From a young age, Eric Titus worked in the family vineyard in Napa Valley with his brothers and father, continuing the tradition until he left for college to earn his doctorate degree in Biology, where he was drawn to the dynamics of marine science and toxicology. Following this path, he worked around the world as a researcher and environmental consultant throughout the 1990’s. In 1997, he returned to St. Helena to help with the harvest at Titus Vineyards. The family business was growing, and, in 2002, Eric decided to devote himself to the winery full time to help with management of the burgeoning business. Today he is General Manager and Vineyard Operations Manager of the winery.
In the vineyard, Eric has adopted green practices that support sustainable farming. His aim is to farm with techniques that ensure minimum impact on the local environment, seeking to have as light a footprint as possible in the vineyard. Nearly all vineyard work is done by hand, row by row. He collaborates with Winemaker Stephen Cruzan to ensure that vineyard practices deliver expressive and focused fruit from their two estate vineyards. An estate-based winery allows for harvesting each row at the right moment for each wine.
Eric has served as President of the Napa Valley Grape Growers Association and is active with both the St. Helena Viticultural Society and Appellation St. Helena. He is committed to preserving agricultural land and the local ecosystem in Napa Valley. Eric works along with the local viticultural community to promote the Napa Valley as a world-class wine-growing region.
Tickets for this event run $195 and can be reserved online.
