Our next wine dinner will feature wines from Browne Family Vineyards on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 5:30pm prepared by Ambrosia’s culinary team headed by Chef Michael Chamberlin assisted by Eston Blackerby.
Browne Family Vineyards stands as a testament to generations of winemaking expertise, cultivating not only grapes but a rich legacy of passion and dedication to the craft. Nestled in the heart of Washington State's renowned wine country, their vineyards bask in the ideal terroir, where sun-drenched slopes and cool breezes nurture grapes to perfection. Each bottle from Browne Family Vineyards encapsulates a commitment to quality and a deep connection to the land, offering a sensory journey that captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest's winemaking spirit.
We’ve chosen to feature wines from Browne’s “Forest Project”, an initiative created by the Browne family in response to the forest fires that devastated ecosystems throughout the Pacific Northwest in 2022 including in the grape-growing regions for Browne Family Vineyards. The enduring effect of soil erosion and habitat loss motivated Browne Family to address the pressing need for reforestation by partnering with the environmental non-profit One Tree Planted. For each bottle of Browne Forest Project wine sold, a tree is proudly planted to help restore forests in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The inaugural wine crafted to benefit the Forest Project was the Shaw Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, a limited-case release sold exclusively across tasting rooms. Its sell-out in just one month validated that the Browne Family's passion for this cause resonated with the larger community.
