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. Celebrating World Malbec Day with Catena Zapata
Friday, April 17th ![]() Celebrate World Malbec Day with a tasting that explores the depth and evolution of Argentina’s most iconic grape, alongside a few exceptional Chardonnays (including the rare, "White Stones" bottling) and the houses' storied "Nicolás Catena Zapata" Bordeaux blend. Few names are as deeply intertwined with Malbec’s rise as Catena, the pioneering winery that redefined high-altitude viticulture and put Argentine wine on the world stage. For over a century, the Catena family has pushed the boundaries of winemaking in Mendoza, proving that Malbec—and other classic grape varieties—can achieve both structure and nuance when grown in the right conditions. Sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza and the Uco Valley, these wines reveal the region’s layered history, where ancient soils and modern techniques converge to create something both bold and expressive.
Lineup is subject to change. Walk-ins permitted as capacity allows. Peak California: 99 Points, No Debate
Saturday, April 18th ![]() A collection of near-perfect, 99-point domestic wines brings together some of California’s most compelling vineyard stories, including Hyde Vineyard in Carneros, planted in 1979 and still farmed by the Hyde family. We’re also featuring Paradigm’s Oakville estate a special library release wine shaped by Heidi Barrett, whose work at Screaming Eagle helped define Napa Valley’s modern era of critically recognized wines. The common thread is not a single style, but a series of vintages and vineyard expressions that captured critics’ attention at the highest level. Each pour reflects a specific site and moment in California viticulture, offering a focused look at how place, vine age, and farming decisions converge at the highest level of critical recognition.
Lineup is subject to change. Walk-ins permitted as capacity allows.
