Special Events
California Iconic Wines Together for One Night
Join us for an intimate five-course culinary experience showcasing a remarkable collection of highly sought-after wines from California's most celebrated regions, including Santa Barbara, Sonoma, and Napa Valley.
The evening will feature thoughtfully curated pairings built around exceptional bottles from some of California's most revered producers, including Sine Qua Non, Dalla Valle Vineyards, Dominus Estate, Realm Cellars, Vine Hill Ranch, and wines crafted by renowned winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Many of these wines have spent years developing in the cellar and are now entering extraordinary drinking windows rarely experienced outside of private collections.
Each course has been designed to complement the unique character of the wines, from the precision and elegance of world-class Chardonnay to the power, complexity, and layered expression of California's most iconic Cabernet Sauvignon and Rhône-inspired blends. Guests will experience a progression that showcases the diversity of Sonoma and Napa alongside the singular artistry of Sine Qua Non and the exceptional vineyards and winemaking that have established these estates among the most coveted in the world.
The evening culminates with a collection of flagship wines representing some of California's most revered vineyards and producers, bottles that are seldom available, rarely poured together, and selected not only for their reputation, but because they have reached a stage of maturity worthy of sharing among fellow collectors and enthusiasts.
An evening dedicated to extraordinary wines, exceptional cuisine, memorable conversation, and the rare opportunity to experience some of California's most iconic bottles at towards their peak.
Doamine Henri Boillot
We are hosting a very limited, collector-level dinner featuring wines from Henri Boillot.
Quite simply, we brought Henri Boillot wines to Arizona because they are among the very best in the market today, and arguably the strongest quality-to-price ratio at the highest level of white Burgundy. For decades, critics have been emphatic:
“Blown away by the precision and intensity.”
“A thrilling, complete wine.”
"Reference-point Puligny and Meursault.”
“Explosively mineral, layered, and extraordinarily persistent.”
“Among the finest examples of the appellation.”
If you are not yet comfortable with Burgundy but want to get your feet wet, without expectations, just enjoyment and eye-popping excellence, this is the night for you. Multiple top cuvées consistently reach the 95–97+ point range (which is nearly impossible for Burgundy), praised for combining density and extract with cut, energy, and crystalline detail. In serious company, these wines stand shoulder to shoulder with the most coveted white Burgundies in the Côte de Beaune, bottles that command five-figure prices, delivering comparable structure, gravitas, and longevity without speculative pricing.
The Boillot family’s roots date back generations assembling prized holdings across Batard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard along with purchase contracts that give rights to the Boillot's to farm themselves names such as Montrachet, Chambetin, Bonnes Mares & Corton Charlemagne just to name a few. They even own two Monopole vineyards that have been in discussions for Grand Cru promotions. Today, alongside his son Guillaume, the estate continues to refine a style defined by precision, restraint, and power without excess.
Anhelo will curate a progression designed to let the wines unfold naturally, tension, depth, texture, and length. This will be a small group to ensure proper pours and thoughtful discussion.
As always these dinners are done at cost, Firm commitment is appreciated as bottles are allocated and divided evenly.

Chateau Angelus
The wine of Bond, James Bond. The pride of Saint-Émilion, Right Bank and all of Bordeaux. The sound of the bell that signals the beginning of greatness. An evening hosted by Château Angélus, one of the most iconic and collectible wines on Earth, rarely experienced in a setting like this, never forgotten. If you love Bordeaux or simply love wine, this is the iconic producer to experience with the château in a one-on-one setting. Also to note, they are not open to the public for tastings in Bordeaux making this truly a once-in-a-lifetime evening. History pours only for a few.
