Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the famed 2008 Champagne vintage at San Francisco’s beloved Flour + Water. We’ve assembled an intimate dinner featuring six of the vintage’s most acclaimed bottles, each perfectly aged to showcase the extraordinary range of these back-vintage gems. Flour + Water’s Co-Executive Chef team—led by Ryan Pollnow and James Beard Award nominee Thomas McNaughton—will craft an Italian-inspired, four-course menu to match these superb Champagnes. This exclusive event promises a remarkable culinary and wine experience you won’t want to miss.

We’ll begin with spuntini (Italian snacks), followed by a first course of antipasti + brodo. The second course showcases a wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza, highlighting seasonal ingredients and Chef McNaughton’s signature thin, blistered crust. The third course offers two handmade pasta dishes that celebrate Italian traditions and Northern California’s bounty. An elegant Italian-inspired sweet finale concludes this four-course feast.
