Please join us at Buon Vino on Friday, November 13th, for a very special wine dinner showcasing the wines of acclaimed winemaker Chris Carpender, known as the “Mountain King of Winemaking.”

For this exclusive evening, we'll explore five exceptional wines crafted by Chris Carpender, bringing together distinctive vineyards and wine regions from California, Washington, and Australia. The goal is to showcase one winemaker's style and craftsmanship through a thoughtfully curated progression of wines, each paired with a specially prepared course.

We are especially excited to welcome Master Sommelier David Reuss as our special guest for the evening. David will guide us through each wine, sharing his expertise and insight into the wines themselves and, most importantly, why each pairing was selected to complement the cuisine.

The evening's featured wine lineup will include:

• 2022 Intrado by Cardinale Sauvignon Blanc – Napa Valley

• 2014 La Jota Merlot – Howell Mountain, Napa Valley

• 2022 Jett Cabernet Sauvignon – Walla Walla, Washington

• 2021 Mt. Brave Cabernet Sauvignon – Mount Veeder, Napa Valley

• 2020 Hickenbotham Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon Blend – McLaren Vale, Australia

From the elegance of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc to mature Howell Mountain Merlot, powerful Washington Cabernet, mountain-grown Napa Cabernet, and a distinctive Australian blend, this promises to be a memorable journey through some remarkable wines.
