Valentine Dinner at the Winery We’re looking forward to our Valentine Dinner on February 13, 2010, one of our Dinner at the Winery events. Dine on a five-course meal cooked to perfection by Chef Jacob Fava and sip on Connecticut Valley Winery’s award-winning wines including our latest addition, Black Bear Dessert Wine. Vintner Tony Ferraro’s informative look into the wine-making process rounds out an evening of old friends, new friends, outstanding food and great wine.
