For the love of in-season farm fresh foods and Napa Valley boutique wines! The Lido Deck, a hidden waterfront gem by Chef Don Schoenburg, a frequenter of farmers markets as well as seafood and wild game purveyors is preparing an exclusive Napa Valley wine dinner with Boyd Family Vineyards Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m. Winemaker Stan Boyd is bringing his latest releases including the new Ruby Tuesday, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Big Ranch Cuvee and Cabernet Franc.
