Hess Collection Wine Dinner
Spring Lake Manor , Spring Lake, New Jersey
6:30pm-9:30pm
THE HESS COLLECTION WINE DINNER – $89 Tax and gratuity included
Curated by Paul Winberry, Jr. Executive Chef at Trama’s One Willow. Paul worked as a commercial lender by day, but at night followed his true passion and trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. After his initial kitchen job, he moved to California and trained under Douglas Keane, chef/owner of Cyrus, the only two star Michelin restaurant in Sonoma County where he rose to Sous Chef. Winberrie and Keane competed in TV’s Top Chef Masters and won the competition.

From there he opened the Beach Tavern in Monmouth Beach and most recently opened Trama’s at One Willow in the Highlands.
