Plumjack Wine Group Dinner
US$325.00 per person
Prepaid
Apr 1, 2025 only
Join us for an unforgettable evening with the exquisite wines of the Plumpjack Wine Group. This is an exclusive evening featuring wines from all four iconic wineries of this esteemed Napa Valley producer. The Plumpjack Collection of Wineries started in 1995 with the founding of Plumpjack Winery in Oakville. On the heels of its great success, the group expanded by adding Cade Estate in Howell Mountain in 2005 followed by Odette in Stag’s Leap in 2012. All three wineries garnered superlative reviews and an enthusiastic customer base for their organic wines. On April 1st, we are honored to host this rare event by pairing wines from all three wineries and an offering from their latest project, Adaptation Wines. This unprecedented evening will be hosted by Andrew Haugen, winemaker at both Odette and Adaptation. Five wines, from all 4 labels, including a side-by-side exploration of Cade and Odette will be paired with our culinary team’s creations. The evening will begin, as customary, with a Champagne reception accompanied by hors d’oeuvres. Make your reservations as early as possible as seating is limited.

Our server was fantastic! Our server was a lot of fun and didn't miss a beat! Food was excellent as always! We came just because we heard you had lemon ginger sorbet this time around and it was indeed the best flavor yet! Everything was perfect! Thanks for making our date night so refreshing and special. We will be back soon!

Overall, excellent experience! Jackson our server was Extraordinary. Extremely knowledgeable about the menu and options available, great personality and his service was on point. My family and I, were there to celebrate my son’s birthday. The food was fantastic! My daughter doesn’t eat seafood and should devoured her scallop from the appetizer portion of the menu. The steaks were out of this world delicious we had the A5 Omni Wagy, which was fantastic. My son got the bone in ribeye and ate every last bit even was getting meat off the bone because it was so delicious.. A fantastic experience and kudos to Jackson and the entire team at Barclay as service was impeccable. Thank you for making my son‘s birthday celebration a memorable experience not just a dinner out to celebrate, an EXPERIENCE we will not forget! One thing that would have been convenient was to have valet parking, as we had to park ourselves, this would have enhanced our experience as it was cold and we had to park down a block. At this price point and with parking being a challenge in Philly, I feel this should be available to guests dining at your restaurant. Just a suggestion for the suggestion box. Jackson and the team at Barclay, Thank you again for a wonderful night out.
