Jack Rabbit Hill Winery in Hotchkiss, Colorado to hold 4th of July wine dinner

Celebrate the Fourth of July with Terroir Restaurant and Jack Rabbit Hill Winery in Hotchkiss, CO for their very first Farm Dinner of 2010.

Terroir will hit the road for a series of dinners this summer celebrating Colorado's bounty and giving guests the opportunity to intimately know their farmer and learn the place and land from which their food is coming. Terroir's Farm Dinners will highlight the finest of Colorado's home-grown farm products while also providing a unique and enchanting al fresco dining experience.

The participating farmers have graciously invited guests to their land this summer to see the fruits of the season evolve and change as reflected in the cuisine on the plates and in the glass. Jack Rabbit Hill Winery is an organic and biodynamic producer in Hotchkiss. Their wines typically sell out quickly so this is an excellent opportunity to not only see their growing operation there but to also sample their hard to find wine!
