A popular past event returns as well: the "Forks.Corks.Action!" wine-
maker series just relaunched in April, and two more events in 2017 will
take place in September and in November. The September 28 event takes
place at 6pm and honors California Wine Month and features a four-
course dinner paired with DeTierra wines benefiting the National
Steinbeck Center, for $140.

anniversaries, but also offers an opportunity for locals and guests who
want a more casual experience, including happy hour and live music.
"The remodel makes sense," Bettcher says. "It brings the property back
into balance."
