Silver Oak Wine Dinner

7 Jul 2022

F&B / EVENTS

Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends with a bold vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring for decades to come. Ray Twomey Duncan, a Colorado entrepreneur who began investing in California vineyards in the late 1960s, and Justin Meyer, a Christian Brothers-trained winemaker, co-founded Silver Oak out of a Napa Valley dairy barn in 1972, producing only 1,000 cases of their inaugural vintage. Over the next two decades since 1972, Silver Oak grew in popularity. Their Napa Valley and Alexander Valley Cabernets sold quickly upon their release from the winery and became a highly sought-after staple on restaurant wine lists nationwide. In 2006, a fire destroyed our historic Oakville winery. While rebuilding was a difficult and emotional event; the opportunity to design a new, state-of-the-art winery from the ground up has resulted in better Napa Valley Cabernets and minimized our eco footprint. Ten years after the fire, Silver Oak Napa Valley was designated the world’s first LEED Platinum winery for existing buildings, operations and maintenance (EBOM) by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The Duncan family of Silver Oak established Twomey in 1999 to expand beyond Cabernet Sauvignon and vinify new grape varietals hailing from the most expressive vineyards, wherever that path may lead. The Twomey of today is a result of decades obsessing on wines of place, featuring Pinot Noir as the most lucid translator from soil and sunshine into wine. Named after Velma Twomey Duncan, mother of Silver Oak co-founder Ray Duncan, Twomey embraces many of the same core principles as Silver Oak: quality, sustainable farming, innovation—but above all, a deep commitment to continuous improvement at every level.
