Tribute to a Legacy

Here’s a unique opportunity for you to have a wine and food experience with some royalty from the wine world on October 7th.  Morton’s The Steakhouse and the entire third and fourth generations of Napa Valley’s famed Mondavi family have joined forces for a nationwide wine dinner and charity auction at the Charles Krug Winery Carriage House in Napa Valley to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. This gathering, the first of its kind in Mondavi family history, will celebrate the Mondavi family’s more than 90 years in growing and crafting wine and will be broadcast simultaneously to 53 Morton’s The Steakhouse private dining rooms via a state-of-the-art satellite broadcast technology. The evening’s esteemed hosts will include Michael Mondavi of Folio Fine Wine Partners, Tim Mondavi and Marcia Mondavi Borger of Continuum Estate, and Peter Mondavi, Sr., Peter Mondavi, Jr. and Marc Mondavi of Charles Krug Winery.  Read on to see how you can attend the special evening of wining and dining in Dallas.

Tylor Field III, vice president of wine and spirits for Morton’s, has collaborated with three generations of the Mondavi family representing Charles Krug Winery, Folio Fine Wine Partners and Continuum Estate, assisted by corporate sponsor Chase Bank, on this first-of-its-kind dinner, a culmination of the “Prime Events at Morton’s” series.
