15: Knapp Winery & Vineyard Restaurant - Louisiana Boil Wine Dinner
This was the best event of 2016, so we had to bring it back. Nothing sounds better than a pile high pan full of shrimp, potatoes, and corn spiced up just right with nothing but your fingers to lick when all is done-at least to some of us this is our idea of heaven.  This is the tease because our Executive Chef John McNabb always likes to put a bit of a twist in his menus.  So though you might need a fork you will experience a luscious seafood experience fashioned after the traditional Louisiana Boils.  This is a five course meal folks paired with premium wines from Knapp Winery, Chateau LaFayette Reneau Wine Cellars, Zugibe Vineyards and Glenora Wine Cellars. Please purchase your tickets on line to reserve your spot. $79.95pp, includes tax and gratuity. www.KnappWine.com
