Featuring Winemaker Ashley Trout & El Gaucho Classics by Chef Beau
El Gaucho Vancouver
Thursday, October 8th | 5:30pm
$225/person, plus service charge and tax
Ashley Trout has been pouring her own path through Walla Walla wine country since 1999, and Brook & Bull Cellars is where that instinct finally landed: wines with backbone, built to sit next to a steak. For one night, she pulls up a chair at El Gaucho to pour them herself and tell the stories behind each bottle, while Chef Beau & the culinary team fires up the classics that built this place’s reputation.
Four courses, five wines, one very good night. Steak off the charcoal grill, candlelight, good company, better wine.
