Meet Winemaker Alex Gambal At L2O

If you're a wine lover looking for a special night, here is an opportunity you will not want to miss. On Nov. 5, L2O will be hosting "An Evening with Winemaker Alex Gambal." Gambal, an American winemaker who has established himself in France's Burgundy region, has earned critical acclaim with his terroir-driven wines. Chef Matthew Kirkley will highlight a line-up of Gambal's vintages with carefully crafted dishes to match each wine. Nominated as a James Beard Foundation Rising Star Chef this year, chef Kirkley's dishes will no doubt provide a perfect accompaniment.

Aaron McManus, sommelier at L2O, is excited to be presenting Gambal's wines, citing their balance and depth of character. According to McManus, it is rare to get his wines as the limited sales are often taken up by local buyers in France. This dinner is a great opportunity to sample these hard-to-get wines.

On this special night, Alex Gambal himself will be in attendance, allowing diners to get an unmatched wine tasting experience. McManus gave us some insight into what it means to have Gambal participating:

Drinking wine with any winemaker is a treat, as they are so intimately involved in the story of their wines. For being such a small place, Burgundy has a crazy diversity of soils and microclimates. Having Alex there to talk about the difference he is trying to highlight in the each of his wines will be amazing.

The price for the multicourse pairing menu is $195. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet with this esteemed winemaker.
