Cliff Lede Wine Dinner

Wine dinners are back at French Market Bistro! Join us on Monday, August 21st, at 6:00 PM for five chef-curated courses perfectly paired with Cliff Lede wines. It's a perfect opportunity to meet our new wine director, Amanda, and get to know Jason Lede, director of communications and the son of Cliff Lede.

Jason was drawn to the wine business shortly after his father founded Cliff Lede Vineyards in 2002. Aspiring to join the family winery, he developed a ten-year plan with his father that included earning a BS in Business Administration from the University of San Francisco, an MBA from the University of Alberta, and an Advanced Wine Certificate from the International Sommelier Guild. To supplement his studies, he worked the 2010 harvest at MollyDooker Wines in Australia, followed by three years in sales at The Wine Cellar, Canada’s first independent wine retailer, importer, and distributor. Jason officially joined Cliff Lede Vineyards in 2015.

After a hard life spent taking good care of you and others, Dad deserves a special treat! The best way to honor him is with a brunch at FMB that he’ll remember long after. Looking for that special touch to let Dad know how important he is? Look no further. The incredible menu and our stellar bourbon collection will leave him speechless!

Still taking reservations. Call 225-753-3500
