About Us

Our inspiration for The Dinner Party began two decades ago when we were living in the heart of the Sonoma Valley, surrounded by vineyards and wineries.  After leaving our first careers in financial services, we both took positions at wineries - Mary at Chateau St. Jean and George at Balletto Vineyards. 

When we opened The Dinner Party 15+ years ago, we set out to select wine and decor for our shop that reminded us of time spent lingering over meals with family and friends.  Our wines cover all appellations and we have tasted each one – if you need help pairing wine to a meal or need to pick out a special bottle for a gift we can help! 

Need a gift?  We have you covered there too, with complimentary gift wrap included.  Stop by to see our collection, you’ll be glad you did.

In addition to our work here in the shop, George is the wine writer for the Coeur d’Alene Press and his columns are filled with helpful wine & entertaining knowledge and tips.  His articles can be found on our blog. https://www.thedinnerpartyshop.com/blogs/articles/
