September 25th
Malbec Masters Dinner
Hosted by Santiago Mayorga of Mendel & Luis Reginato of Luca & La Posta
“Asado”
$125 per person
Moreland Landing

Relish in an authentic dinner celebrating the Argentine approach to love, life, food and wine. We will introduce you to an array of Malbec from across their soulful country and feast on a wealth of meats from a traditional Asado.

Argentina stretches over 1 million square miles or about four times the size of France. The wide range of landscapes - the steep elevations of Salta, the majestic Andes in Mendoza, and endless plains of Patagonia - offer many ideal locations for grape growing.

Each La Posta label illustrates a story of these individual families. One taste and you will welcome these growers into your own families, into your glass, and into your heart. Winemaker Luis Reginato is a highly trained and respected vineyard consultant and winemaker with long experience at his family's winery in Mendoza.

 

Luis Reginato, the winemaker at Luca Winery, is a highly trained, experienced, and respected vineyard consultant and winemaker who receives high praise from wine critics and is definitely a winemaker to watch. Luca is named after Laura Catena first-born son. The family crest (the McDermott family) that appears in the label's background is that of Laura's husband, Dan. Laura is continually inspired by the synthesis of cultures in her own family, and this international inspiration infuses the style and quality of her wines.

 

Mendel Winery embodies the union of Roberto de la Mota - one of Argentina's most respected and experienced winemakers - with a nearly century-old Argentine family, whose sole objective is to produce wine of unquestionable, superior quality. Proprietor and longtime wine lover, Anabelle Sielecki, diligently tracked down the very best talent Argentina had to offer when seeking Mendel's winemaker, and with utmost charm and perseverance, brought Roberto de la Mota on board. Roberto, son of legendary winemaker Raul de la Mota, has an impressive winemaking record and a lifetime of winemaking education and practice. Together, they choose the best blocks from their ancient vineyards, and every artisan winemaking step is rigorously performed. Extraordinary vineyards, passionate people, experience and friendship are all blended to create these truly remarkable wines. Mendel is the first name of Anabelle's father, a man who came to Argentina with nothing and ended up a successful businessman in different industries. He was a man that loved the finest things that life had to offer, particularly wine. Anabelle proudly honors her father by seeking perfection in her and Roberto's wines.
