Napa, CA (August 26, 2021) – Tony nominee Jacob Langfelder (Sea Wall/A Life) launched Broadway and Vine, intersecting the best of Broadway with the best of Wine Country, this week with Tony nominee Tony Yazbeck (On The Town, Gypsy, A Chorus Line, and star of the upcoming Broadway production of Flying Over Sunset) and Emmy Award winning composer and lyricist, Lance Horne, at Tre Posti in Napa Valley.

The evening featured a three-course vintner’s dinner by Chef Nash Cognetti, along with wines hosted by Arietta’s Fritz and Caren Hatton, Rich and Leslie Frank of Frank Family Vineyards with winemaker Todd Graff, and the Peju Family pouring Calmére and Peju with winemaker Sara Fowler. Trinchero Family Estates and Far Niente also were featured in the concert and wine experiences . In addition to bringing Broadway to Napa’s backyard, the all-star concert series provides performance, workshop and masterclass opportunities for local youth.
