Goose Ridge Winery and Monson Ranch Dinner

Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar recently hosted an exclusive dinner event featuring exceptional pairings from Monson Ranch Distillery and Goose Ridge Winery. Guests enjoyed a carefully curated multi-course menu where each dish was artfully matched with Monson Ranch’s handcrafted spirits and Goose Ridge’s award-winning wines. The evening highlighted the creativity of Twigs’ culinary team, blending local flavors with expertly crafted cocktails and wines. The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, filled with laughter, conversation, and a shared appreciation for fine food, great company, and the best of the Pacific Northwest’s craft beverage scene.

Joining us was MaKenzie Monson who is a fourth-generation member of the Monson family, owners of Goose Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery and Monson Ranch Distillers. She holds the role of Wine & Spirits Sales and Marketing Manager, overseeing efforts across both the winery and the family’s distilling arm.
