Napa Cult Hosted Wine Dinner Impensata
Arguably one of the top cult wines in Napa Valley. Comprised of the all-star team: Winemaker Nigel Kinsman, Master Blender Michel Rolland, and Vineyard Manager David Abreu. Two estate vineyards, Ecotone (formerly known as Abreu's Thorevilos) and Abreu’s Las Posadas. These Merlot, Cabernet, Bordeaux Blends and possibly the best Sauvignon Blanc blend in the US paired with Chef Ivan's incredible culinary masterpieces. 7 courses, 6 wines including a barrel sample from the heralded '21 vintage!
Château Pichon Baron Wine Dinner
Established in 1694, located in what is widely regarded as the most prestigious winemaking subregion of the Médoc, Pauillac. Arguably one of the most iconic Bordeaux Chateaus consistently receiving 95+ critic scores each and every vintage and many times ranking in the top 10 wines of the world! The chateau is located on a beautiful terroir of 73 hectares of quaternary gravel, south of the commune of Pauillac. Half of the estate is similar to a nearby neighbor Château Latour. The grape varieties are 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
Sonoma Top Chard/Pinot & Napa Hosted wine dinner- Maxem & Vida Valiente
Two wineries will host a magical wine dinner featuring some of the best Chardonnay & Pinot from the United States AND one of the hottest new Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa Valley! Sam Kaplan, the winemaker of Arkenstone & Memento Mori, launched his own Burgundy label in 2015 to tremendous critical acclaim, selling out within the same week and have never looked back. While the white & red burgundy will take us through the first part of the journey, the second part of the evening is also something special- the first look at the inaugural vintage of Sam Kaplan & Memento Mori owner's new winery (HD), Vida Valiente.

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Burgundy Wine Dinner 2
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey or PYCM dinner was such a hit, we decided to add another for those that were unable to book before it sold out. This time around we are adding two Caroline Morey wines to the dinner, Pierre's wife, as a fun comparison. Instead of focusing on their Premier Crus, we will focus on the recently released 2020 vintage of their Village wines from Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet, Saint Aubin and Santenay (and one Premier Cru). For us Burgundy wine drinkers, this is a really fun treat to experience a horizontal from such a coveted producer - all in one setting paired exquisitely with Chef Ivan's magical creations.
40 Years of Château Ducru Beaucaillou wine dinner
Join us before Thanksgiving madness for a magical evening hosted by the Chateau as we journey through Four Decades of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. We will go deep in history through personally selected top vintages from the past four decades- 1986, 1995, 2000, 2015, 2016 & 2018 equating to eight tremendous expressions expertly paired with tantalizing creations from Chef Ivan. Dating back over 300 years, the Château owes its name to the quartz pebbles that were deposited over two million years ago producing some of the most recognizable wines in the world -and the critics agree with 100pt wines, vintage after vintage
