Join Roman Roth for the first-ever Cab Franc Forward Dinner, a landmark evening celebrating the elegance, complexity, and future of Cabernet Franc in New York State. Featuring award-winning wineries, rare wines, and a four-course culinary experience by Chef David Kim, this exclusive event brings the heart of the Cab Franc movement to the Hudson Valley.
Cab Franc Forward (CFF) is a coalition of New York’s top wineries united in elevating Cabernet Franc as the state’s premier red varietal.
