A Visit to VJB Vineyards and Cellars
Thursday, October 4th
Please join the Rossmoor Wine and Food Society on Thursday, October 4, 2018, for a visit to VJB Vineyards and Cellars in Kenwood, CA. VJB is a boutique winery owned by the Belmonte family featuring wines that blend the Old World tradition with the New World innovation. Their Italian varietals, including a Proseco and both white and red wines, showcase the beautiful Sonoma County region with influences of Old World Italian wine-making.
We will begin our afternoon with a seated wine tasting on their lovely piazza featuring five of their hand crafted limited production wines. Being a relatively small winery, they tend to sell out of wines and cannot determine at this time which specific wines will be available that day for our tasting. However, as some wines sell out others are newly released so that the winery always has a wonderful variety of wines.
The wine tasting will be followed by a family style lunch prepared by owner and executive chef, Maria Belmonte. The wines served with lunch will pair perfectly with an assortment of wood-fired pizzas, from their seasonal vegetarian to the traditional Margherita pizza, to the popular meat lover’s pizza. A side of Maria’s famous Caesar salad will accompany the assorted pizzas.
Remember to save room for dessert, the Bay Area’s best gelato from the Wine Truffle Boutique. After lunch, there will be ample time for browsing in the winery where in addition to the wine, Maria Belmonte’s fabulous pasta sauces and pastas are sold. A wide array of gourmet treats are also available at the Wine Truffle Boutique located on the property.
The cost for this experience is $105 for members and $115 for guests. Send a check along with the reservation form below to: Rossmoor Wine and Food Society, Attn: Reservations, 1001 Golden Rain Rd., Walnut Creek, CA, 94595 or place it in the club mailbox at Gateway.

Please make your reservations early and note that all reservations must be received no later than September 20, 2018. No refunds can be given after that date since all monies must be paid to the winery at that time.
