Thanks to Mike Paterson, winemaker from Jackson Estate Winery 
It's not every day you get to hang out and drink with the person who puts the wine into the bottle.
Mike graciously sampled and sipped his wines with us last Friday, so we'd like to thank Mike again for traveling all the way from New Zealand to pour and chat about his sustainably produced wines. There's still a few reserve bottles with his signature on them, so keep an eye on our daily specials!Food & Drink What's On Tap?
