About the event
This special evening — hosted by master sommelier Emmanuel Kemiji — one of only 269 in the world — offers a fresh and unpretentious take on wine tasting. Chef Trilby Tatro and owner Charissa Farley will join him in curating a bold menu that sets aside the rulebook and focuses on flavors you love. The experience will feature five gourmet tacos, each crafted to highlight the unique flavor profiles of meat, fish, and mushrooms, paired with five exquisite wines. The night will conclude with a decadent dessert paired with an exclusive agave spirit from the Sierras of Northern Mexico — so rare, it was illegal until the 1990s.
Menu Highlights:
Ahi Poke Taco
Short Rib Barbacoa Taco

Oyster Mushroom and Nopales Taco
