Join the Permian Basin Chapter and Eric Flanagan of Flanagan Wines for our annual Holiday Wine Dinner. We’ll start with a glass of Riley’s Rows rosé, then sit down to four courses at the Midland Petroleum Club. The pairings range from Sauvignon Blanc with herb-stuffed mushrooms to estate Cabernet Sauvignon with chocolate decadence.
Eric’s story in Sonoma County began in 1999, when he purchased 40 acres on Bennett Mountain. He later acquired a winery near Healdsburg. The evening brings together wines from Flanagan Wines and Riley’s Rows, his daughter Riley’s label.
