“The DeLille Cellars Vintner Dinner brings together some of our state’s best in food and wine,” said Suresh Rao of DS Vintners, organizer of the event.

The dinner will include Jay Soloff, co-founder of DeLille Cellars, which was named among the Top 100 Wineries of 2017 by Wine & Spirits Magazine. DeLille Cellars is one of only six wineries from Washington State and only 35 in the United States to make the list. Since 1992, DeLille Cellars has been pioneering Bordeaux blends in Washington State. Today it continues to perfect Bordeaux and Rhône-inspired wines that showcase the purity of fruit defining Washington State terroir.

After 11 successful years in Colville, Norman and Kristen Six moved Lovitt Restaurant last year to Fairhaven, where they still make everything from scratch. The cuisine is based on what’s seasonal and available.
