A charming idea, this First Thursday Brown Bag Wine Dinner concept. Especially the appealing price tag.

You can enjoy the authentic French cuisine of chef Lionel le Morvan, some pours of new Alfaro wines, plus the pleasure of a conversation with winemaker Richard Alfaro himself — all for $35 (per person; tax & tip extra).

It happens Thursday, June 2 – and you can bring your own bottle of Santa Cruz Mountains AVA pinot noir to enjoy, or purchase from the Ma Maison menu (no corkage fee that evening).
