Also included in the summer fun is Dan’s HARVEST EAST END, taking place on Saturday, August 22nd at McCall Vineyard and Ranch. This year, the event will feature a host for the first time ever, and taking the reigns is none other than Iron Chef & star of The Kitchen and Chopped, Geoffrey Zakarian.

Exclusive barrel tastings and a silent auction will also be offered to delight even the most seasoned oenophile.
