Thursday, April 23rd
Kicking things off in Hollywood, Amor y Limón brings its distinctly L.A. perspective to the curb—blending Mexican street food with Filipino influences, where adobo-marinated meats, citrusy salsas, and dishes inspired by lechon kawali reflect a family-driven approach rooted in generations of home cooking and cultural crossover. We’re launching our first-ever Wine + Food Truck get-together—pouring a lively lineup of sparkling wines and Champagnes from K&L Direct Import producers—because tacos (or adobo fries…) and bubbles tend to get along better than expected. With a generous plate of 3 tacos starting at just $15, food will be available for purchase directly from the truck, so grab something that catches your eye, bring it inside, and settle in—this is all about good flavors, good company, and an easygoing excuse to spend a late afternoon drinking something festive! Click here for more information.
Food is not included with admission and must be purchased separately from the food truck. All wine consumption is limited to the tasting bar area only, and may not be taken outside. Lineup is subject to change. Vintage Wines: What Time Tastes Like
Friday, April 24th ![]() Time in bottle reshapes these wines in ways that cannot be replicated in youth, revealing shifts in texture, aroma, and structure that emerge only after years of cellaring. The lineup includes Muscadet aged on its lees from a historic Loire estate, traditionally raised Chablis from a producer known for extended maturation before release, and a Napa Petite Syrah drawn from a long-held library selection, each illustrating how patient élevage and storage influence development. Mature reds and fortified Madeira dating back to the ‘90s complete this unique experience, offering evolved notes of dried fruit, earth, spice, and savory complexity that highlight how wine transforms across decades in the cellar.
Lineup is subject to change. Walk-ins permitted as capacity allows. Chile: The Old Guard and the New Wave
Saturday, April 25th ![]() This Chilean wine tasting sets established producers alongside emerging wineries in a format that captures the country’s winemaking history and its current momentum within a single tasting. Longstanding houses like Concha y Toro and Errázuriz, whose vineyard holdings and export presence date back to the 1800s, appear next to projects such as Garage Wine Co. and Laberinto, where small-lot production, dry farming, and site-specific bottlings reflect a more recent shift toward transparency of origin in important regions like Maule. Across some of Chile’s most important grape varieties like Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon, among others, these pairings highlight how Chile’s viticultural landscape continues to evolve through both continuity and change.
Lineup is subject to change. Walk-ins permitted as capacity allows.
