The lovely JW Marriot had a full convention room with the FOLEY FAMILY WINE DINNER last night. The Foley family is the major stockholder in the Las Vegas Knights and owns a few wonderful vineyards in California. 
The three superb chefs of the night came up with an incredible menu. Chef Devin Plendeileith along with Hector and Charles. Their pairings and skill were noticed by everyone. Starting with a cocktail Reception, passed canapes included Beluga Caviar, Olive Tapenade, and Baby Heirloom tomato skewers. They started with a Lucien Albrecht Crémant D’Alsace Brut Rose. 
The first course was a 2016 Banshee Chardonnay, with Salmon Tartare. Next round was a 2015 Two Sisters Pinot Noir, with crispy duck breast. 
The next course was a 2014 Foley Sonoma Estate Cabernet, with braised lamb shank, with potato parsnip Emulsion, confit garlic, pearl onion, and spring Pea Sauce. Dessert wine included a 2014 Chalk Hill Estate Botryised Semillon with a wine poached Pear. The food was tremendous. There was a table filled with lovely chocolates and truffles. Most of the attendees were high rollers from the hotel, so I was honored to find a seat among them.
