Festival Mozaic Winter Intermezzo Notable Encounter
End of the Line Cafe, San Luis Obispo, CA

Tablas Creek is honored to sponsor Festival Mozaic again in 2009. Our first event is the unique "notable encounter", where wine country, culinary craftsmanship and the festival’s virtuoso musicians converge in a casual café-style musical tasting menu. You’ll enjoy an intimate buffet dinner paired with Tablas Creek wines with the guest artists and fellow music lovers before sitting down for a one-hour ‘insider’s perspective’, as the musicians play, talk and engage with you on this season’s great chamber music. Tickets for this unique cultural and culinary opportunity are just $80, and available on the Festival Mozaic Web site. Get tickets for the next day's concert at the same time!
