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.

Amazing experience from start to finish! Our server Jeff was excellent as well. He knew the entire menu and offered us the specials that they had. “Love Potion #9” hands down my favorite drink! My steak was cooked beautifully and topped with some truffle butter I ordered too. Whipped truffle potatoes were soo good, my date loved it! Her salmon was delicious also! Great service, super chill and intimate seating for dinner. The chairs are very comfortable too. 10/10! Definitely will return soon

Tremendous amount of wonderful detail provided by the staff. Excellent waiter and service!!! The tables in which we sat were somewhat close together, which took me a little off guard and I felt I couldn't have a private conversation. Overall, it was stunning. The food was beyond delicious; the sea bass, creme brulee and chocolate mousse were melt in your mouth fabulous. The "old fashioned" was one of the best we had ever had. The chef wrote a special note on our desert for our 30th anniversary--- very special touch that was much appreciated!

First time back to Barclay to have dinner since Covid and was super excited and then was disappointed. Don’t know what happened here but was once the best of the best and honestly was letdown within the first 10min. We waited and waited and waited for refills on our drinks and at 30 bucks a pop they should be more attentive. Food was good but didn’t wow us at all. We have a few steakhouses out here in bucks county that I believe are superior.
