Frog’s Leap Wine Dinner at the Yardley Inn

Aug. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- On August 12, 2010, the Yardley Inn Restaurant & Bar invites guests to enjoy fine Frog’s Leap wines thoughtfully paired with a five-course meal of Chef Eben’s creative cuisine. Designed to be a fun social event before the end of the summer, the Frog’s Leap Wine Dinner kicks off at 7 p.m.

The Napa Valley based Frog’s Leap Winery grows their grapes organically and without the use of irrigation, having done so since 1988. The winery takes the green lifestyle seriously, with efforts in solar power and composting. Perhaps most notable of all, Frog’s Leap Winery maintains a good sense of humor in running their business. This unique characteristic gives a new perspective in enjoying wine.

A selection of Frog’s Leap wines accentuates the bill of fare offered in the five-course meal designed by Yardley Inn Executive Chef Eben Copple. The menu for the Yardley Inn’s Frog’s Leap Wine Dinner includes:
