Chef Brandt Bishop of Best Slope Culinary, along with Bonfire Oyster Co., are here for a late-afternoon and early evening pop-up. Brandt is returning with his legendary poke bowls and seasonal sides, which pair perfectly with Bonfire Oyster Co.'s freshly shucked oysters and lobster rolls. The pairing of these two food trucks here at the winery is a perfect match with our seasonally appropriate, crisp white, rosé, and sparkling wines.
