Item Description

A Dinner Out...

First, start with an enjoyable dinner with a $125 gift certificate for one of the most excellent, yet relaxing, dining experiences in the Pasadena area, Arroyo Parkway Grill. 

Parkway has been a powerful force in the Regional American Cuisine movement, specializing in seasonal, market-driven approach to cooking that incorporates diverse influences and classic French technique. Demonstrating the ultimate commitment to farm-fresh produce, diners enjoy fresh salads and vegetables from the restaurant's own on-site, organic vegetable and herb garden.

Make sure to check out the stunning, expansive bar, an original from 1920's Chicago that was transported to Pasadena in the early 1980's-- a handsome representation of the Rose City's Midwestern roots. Amidst the dark wood motifs are top-shelf liquors, aperitifs, and a broad selection of wines served by the glass. Comprised of upwards of three thousand bottles, Parkway's award-winning wine cellar has been recognized by Wine Spectator since 1999.

A bottle of Roblar Chardonnay

Enjoy sharing a bottle of Chardonnay from Roblar's Platinum Collection. These grapes were grown at Esperanza Vineyard at the western edge of the Santa Rita Hills appellation.  The nearby Pacific Ocean maintains a very cool climate and allows the grapes to retain all of their delicate flavors as they ripen to maturity. The grapes were picked in the cool morning and immediately pressed.  After chilling and settling the juice, the clear juice was racked into French oak barrels and fermented at a cool temperature to preserve the fresh fruit flavors while gaining roundness during barrel fermentation.
