W**emaker Dinner: Maria João Pato of João Pato AKA Duckman!
We are SO PUMPED! Join us at Flamingo Drive, Thursday 10-08-26 at 630pm as we have the honor to host Maria Pato, and get the skinny on Portuguese w**e from Bairrada!
When Maria Pato [pictured left], Luis Pato’s [pictured right] youngest daughter, returned to the family w**ery, she also wanted to experiment and find her own style — pushing the boundaries of low alcohol, minimal intervention w**e making. The result is “Duckman” an evocation of her namesake grandfather, João Pato, often portrayed as a giant paper mache duck on her labels. The w**es themselves are a reinterpretation of what w**emaking can be, ascribing to no tradition: pet nat sparklers arriving un-disgorged, red w**es made from white grapes, orange w**es made from red grapes, etc…. The goal is not to be a “natural” version of a classic expression, but rather to be endlessly experimental, surprising, and delicious. Chef Paul will be preparing courses to match a selection of Pato family w**es, with a welcome glass to start the evening! Big thanks to Cutting Edge for bringing these wonderful producers to Cincinnati!

Division!
Join us at the bar on Tuesday, 10-20-26 at 6pm as we explore Cahors! Brought to us by our friends at Voyager Beverage, Fabien Jouves, 5th generation w**emaker at his family domaine in the Causses, combines biodynamic practices in the vineyard with a naturalistic ethos in w**emaking, both paying homage to the Cahors Malbec tradition and utilizing replanted native varietals — vibrant, fresh, and maybe a little irreverent, these are some really phenomenal w**es! Chef Paul will be pairing each with a dish to match their creativity and playfulness.
This is part of our Bar Tasting Series, held regularly:
