The Scholium Project Wine Dinner

About

Abe Schoener sounds awesome. He taught ancient philosophy before going into the winemaker biz. He's California's most radical vintners, picking grapes from forgotten vineyards and producing experimental wines with a bit of a cult following. Esquire named him one of the “16 geniuses who give us hope” in their 2010 “Best and Brightest” issue. Safe to say, we want to meet this guy. He'll be at Bailey's during this four-course dinner paired with his wines.
