Cru night is back! Join us for an evening of small vineyards, big bottles! Cru Night turns a bottle-only, limited-production cru into a one-night, by-the-glass experience. This month we’re featuring Pecchenino’s 2021 San Guiseppe on Tuesday evening.

These vines undergo extreme care and attention leading to very low yields and, therefore, beautifully concentrated grapes. Diligent canopy management in July when the vines are thinned is followed by further thinning in August where the bottom half of the grape bunches are pruned. The final w**e ages in large oak casks, integrating the rich Nebbiolo tannins while allowing the fresh fruit to show through. On the nose there are hints of plum, raspberry, ripe red and black cherry, blackberry, and liquorice. The palate is classic: rich and powerful with silky, well-integrated tannins.

From the stunning island of Sardinia comes Argiolas Winery , a small family w**e estate that will be joining us for a special dining series at both Mistral and elements. Join us October 9th for a w**e dinner at elements featuring Argiolas w**e and a 5-course menu of traditional Sardinian dishes. Then, on October 10th, we will feature Argiolas with special w**es by the glass and a couple of special bites to go along with our regular menu.

The Argiolas family has worked diligently to become the leader in Sardinian enology and insists on using native Sardinian vines. The w**ery produces both a classic and prestige line of w**es. The classic w**es are fresh in style and bottled under various DOCs, including Vermentino di Sardegna and Cannonau di Sardegna.

The late Giacomo Tachis believed southern Sardinia possessed the “true soul of the island,” and helped create the prestige offerings of Argiolas, bottled under the Isola del Nuraghi IGT and aged in French barriques. These include Korem, based on Bovale Sardo, and the benchmark Cannonau blend Turriga.
