Claypool Cellars Wine Dinner at Foreign Cinema

For this festive evening, Claypool joins Foreign Cinema’s New Wine Director Shannon Tucker to take guests through a food and wine journey as they pair the flavors of Foreign Cinema’s seasonal, California-Mediterranean cuisine with select wines from Claypool Cellars.

The event will take place in Foreign Cinema’s Modernism West, a gallery in partnership with acclaimed art dealer Martin Muller of Modernism Inc. A screening of Dr. Strangelove, which is Les Claypool’s favorite movie, will be in full swing starting at dusk. Les will also be signing bottles of wine that may be purchased through Claypool Cellars.
