Au Bon Climat Library Dinner
In collaboration with Petit Trois, Los Angeles
Please join us for a once in a lifetime dinner in collaboration with California pioneer 'Au Bon Climat' and James-Beard-nominted bistro 'Petit Trois.'
Both drawing inspiration from the Burgundian pursuit of perfection, the two use old-world techniques to craft beautiful, entirely Californian delights.
K&L will be there with Isabelle Clendenen, daughter of the late Santa Barbara County pioneer Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat, showcasing library wines from the family’s collection, along with plenty of stories and insights to share.
'Au Bon Climat' will be opening some of their very best wines from the very best vintages, guiding our palettes through over 20 years of wine history. Petit Trois has created the perfect menu to pair. A harmony between meticulously crafted wine and food.

About the Wine
Isabelle’s father, Jim, established Au Bon Climat in 1982. Since the beginning, ABC has been devoted to making timeless, Burgundian-influenced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Santa Barbara County. The convergence of cool, brisk Pacific air, marine-based soils, and east-west running valleys of the area provided an ideal place for growing exceptional grapes. Hence the name, “Au Bon Climat,” the French idiom for “good place”.
