Join us for an intimate wine dinner with some of Texas's most respected winemakers as we open the cellar and explore how time affects a great bottle! Each course of this multi-course seated dinner is paired with a comparative tasting featuring two wines from the same producer, a current release and a library vintage.

Before each course is served, the winemaker behind the pairing will speak to both bottles — what they were chasing, what the years have done, and why these two wines belong on the same table. The chef has designed every dish around the featured wines, making this a truly collaborative culinary experience!
