Myrtle Beach Restaurant News
Welcome readers of MyrtleBeachRestaurantNews.com! We are so happy to welcome you to the Myrtle Beach Restaurant News and Entertainment section of MyrtleBeachCompass.com!
Certified Executive Chef Rob Beuth is settling in at his new position at Litchfield Plantation's Carriage House Club, and on April 9 he is preparing a special menu for a Chateau Julien Estate Wine Dinner. He says this meal will be extra-special because the vineyard owner is hosting the event.
"Chateau Julien is our house wine," Chef Beuth wrote in an e-mail. "We currently are the only restaurant outside of Charleston who uses this label. Each year the owner of the vineyard, Bob Brower, comes to the Carriage House and presents a wine dinner of all his favorite wines. There aren't many wine dinners around town where the actual owner of the vineyard is present. He presents each wine and gives a small story of each wine and will greet each table towards the end of the evening."
Chateau Julien Estate owner Bob Brower, shown here with his wife, Patty Brower, will host an upcoming wine dinner at Litchfield Plantation's Carriage House Club.The Chateau Julien Estate was founded by Bob and Patty Brower in 1982. It is in Carmel Valley, Calif., and Winemaker Bill Anderson has worked with the Browers since 1982.
A seat at this special table costs $72, and the evening gets underway at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 9.
