If you’ve attended one of our virtual steakhouse wine dinners with Chef Wright in the past, then you know how delicious his steakhouse menus are! We’re excited to be able to connect with our wine club members over this delicious, indulgent, and intimate virtual experience. We can’t wait to see you on the screen—fine wines in hand, of course!

Join Sommelier Erica Archer and Chef Jef Wright for an incredible 4-course virtual wine dinner-for-two delivered to your door. That’s right, 1-2 hours before logging on to our event, you’ll receive your dinner-for-two box containing the two featured wines and food courses each in its container with easy instructions to either place in your refrigerator, freezer, or set to be ready for our first course starting at 6 PM.

We are excited to have you join us for this incredible virtual wine dinner as we gather online from the comforts of home—with two wine glasses in hand—to discuss the featured wines and delicious dishes from Chef Wright… all while creating community and supporting small businesses and local purveyors.

Your Chef

Jef Wright is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy, he has worked in a wide array of cuisines and restaurants, both large and intimate. For many years he worked in Atlanta with Richard Blais, a former Top Chef winner, and focused on molecular gastronomy to reimagine and refine traditional southern dishes. His passion for continued learning has taken him to Philadelphia and New York, where he worked in a 2 Michelin star restaurant and a large and well-known upscale restaurant group. His style is best described as heavily influenced by traditional French and Spanish cuisine with a love for upscale Southern always focusing on refined techniques. He was the opening sous chef at The Garrison in Yarmouth, where he helped the restaurant attain a 4-½ star review from the Press Herald. Jef is stepped back into the role of Executive Chef, leading the kitchen at Sur Lie and now at the Crown Jewel on Great Diamond Island.

Your Sommelier

Erica Archer is a true oenophile, having obtained high levels of certification in her field. In 2010, she was awarded the Wine Spirit and Education Trust Level Three Advanced Certification in Wines and Spirits (with merit), became a Sommelier in the American Court of Master Sommeliers, and received her Certified Wine Professional award from the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, California. Erica is the principal of Wine Wise, a wine education and events service, and is skilled at creating truly creative and memorable wine experiences that take guests beyond a typical tasting with her intimate understanding of what makes each wine unique. And she’ll do it with her trademark down-to-earth style and sense of humor.

Where do we meet?

On your computer screen at 6 pm on the day of the event. You’ll download the Zoom app and access our event through a link that we will send you.

What do we need?

Set your dinner table with a fork, knife, spoon, napkin, water, and two wine glasses per person, so each of you has one glass for each of the two wines to enjoy through the first three savory courses. You’ll also need a corkscrew, the downloaded materials for this event, and a computer with internet access, sound, and video capability. Be sure to download the ZOOM app before this event as that is the platform we will be using so that we can all see and hear each other.

Tell us about delivery.

We’ll deliver your box of goodies between 3:00-5:30 pm the day of this event. Please include your greater Portland delivery address in the comments section at checkout if they are different from your billing address. Or let us know that you’ll meet us for curbside pick-up.

Cancellations/Reschedules/No Shows
Because of our size and the need to purchase the wine and food to accommodate the number of tickets sold, we will be able to refund you only if we can re-sell your tickets (minus the $30.00 credit card transactions we have to pay) OR reschedule you to a different event (there is no credit card transaction fee in this case). There are no refunds or reschedules for no-shows or if we cannot resell your tickets. Makes sense, right?
