Open to all ticketed patrons, the walk-around tasting will feature over a dozen chefs and more than 30 wineries with a spotlight on regional California wineries, along with some of the world’s best producers.

Maggie Harrison honed her skills at the legendary Sine Qua Non under Elaine and Manfred Krankl but it was the “ancient earth” of Oregon that most spoke to her. Her wines at Antica Terra are among the most celebrated and thought provoking, but this tasting is focused on wines that inspire her; the High Bar. An enthusiast’s dream tasting of rarities from different regions of the world that help support the aspirational beauty that Maggie creates in her wines every day. This seminar will explore eight different producers from various regions of the winemaking world.

Nancy Oakes (Boulevard, Prospect) teams up with husband-and-wife duo Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski (State Bird Provisions, The Progress) to create an unforgettable lunch celebrating some of The Golden City’s most beloved restaurants. Includes a family-style lunch and wine pairings from Carlton McCoy.

There really is no wine producer like Sine Qua Non. Named after a Latin phrase meaning “without which, nothing,” SQN gives each new bottle in each new vintage a new name, a new label and a new bottle shape – all of which reflects their unique approach to winemaking. SQN doesn’t have a set method, recipe or style for the wines they make. Rather, they see each year as a new experience and an opportunity to make a wine that reflects what nature has given.

Manfred and Elaine Krankl will share eight different bottlings in this bucket-list peek behind the curtain of Sine Qua Non. They started with a 1999 Sine Qua Non Sparkling wine en magnum that was unreleased (only 280 mags produced and none sold).

Who wouldn’t dream of showing up at Nancy’s home in Italy for a dinner party? Join Nancy and special guests as she hosts an intimate dinner at a Tuscan-inspired private estate for an unforgettable evening of entertainment and some of the dishes that etched her name into culinary legendry.
