Views from Seven Glaciers Restaurant are superb, as is the cuisine, so when you add fantastic wines from Kenwood Vineyards the result is a trifecta that is certain to create a memorable evening.
Seven Glaciers is the premiere restaurant at the Alyeska Resort, located just south of Anchorage in the skiing mecca of Girdwood. A tram whisks diners to the top of the mountain where a well known restaurant myth is shattered — here the quality of the dining experience is NOT inversely proportional to the view.
The next Seven Glaciers wine dinner will be held February 27, 2011. It features Kenwood Vineyards along with their fantastic Jack London collection, with wines paired with a special tasting menu prepared by Seven Glaciers Executive Chef Jason Porter.
Kenwood Vineyards creates wines from the very best vineyards in Sonoma County and they are also the exclusive producer of wines from the lava-terraced vineyards of the historic Jack London Ranch. Award-winning wines from these vineyards, first planted in the late 1800’s, have a unique character. It is quite fitting that Jack London’s wolf head bookplate logo graces the label of these fine wines — and these wines will be perfect for a wine dinner in Alaska.
