Ra Ra Wine Co. x DCK

This October, Once a Month at DCK features a Healdsburg vintner who’s spent her career pushing against the expected. We’re joined by Kara Groom of Ra Ra Wine Co. — daughter of famed Geyser Peak winemaker Daryl Groom, six harvests deep across three continents before she came home to Dry Creek Valley, and freshly named Sonoma Magazine’s North Coast Winemaker of the Year for the label she built her own way: low-intervention, no oak, and unafraid of a pét-nat.

Executive Chef Shane McAnelly builds a five-course menu around Kara’s range, from a bright Melon de Bourgogne through her "Once in a Blue Moon" Pinot Noir. One winemaker, one kitchen, and a table that pours like Sonoma County refusing to sit still.
