Sunday brunch at the historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco?  Don’t mind if I do…

On Sunday, we were invited to pour our wines at the Palace Hotel as part of their Sunday Blues Brunch.  My wife, Meghan, and I were the lucky ones chosen to represent LangeTwins to take part in a decadent tradition at the Palace Hotel – brunch in the Garden Court.

A little bit of history: The landmark Palace Hotel was completely rebuilt and re-opened in 1909 after being damaged by the huge 1906 earthquake of San Francisco.  It’s most famous room, the Garden Court, rests under an ornate stained-glass window dome and Austrian crystal chandeliers….so, it was safe to say that I couldn’t wear my work boots.

Trivia bit: The glass dome-ceiling is also the same one that Michael Douglas fell through at the end of the 1997 movie, “The Game”, for those of you interested in worthless movie trivia!

Executive Chef Jesse Llapitan and his team came by for a tasting and really enjoyed our Generations Viognier and Proprietary Cabernet Sauvignon.  The food was excellent and we were happy to pour our wines to compliment the cheese tasting tables nearby.  In fact, we were there to promote the upcoming Artisan Cheese Festival in Petaluma taking place on weekend of March 26th in Petaluma.

Buy tickets ahead of time for a luxury food weekend featuring over twenty-four artisan cheese makers, twenty wineries and breweries, and just as many chefs preparing handmade bites for all.  We’ll be there paired up with our friends at Fiscalini Cheese Company!
