An Evening with Samin Nosrat 1 2
2025 Van Cliburn Piano Competition Gold Medalist, Aristo Sham
October 4, 2025
Red: Lini 910 Lambrusco
Lambrusco is Northern Italy’s not-sowell-kept secret. It’s a lighthearted red sparkling wine that is classically made but also unique to the modern American wine-scape. Van Cliburn Gold Medalist Aristo Sham also embodies such a mindset: a respect for the classics with his own youthful and contemporary spin. While the maestro tickles the ivory with liveliness and gusto, enjoy the playful nature of Lini 910 with its fresh red fruit bouquet with a crispy dry finish.
White: Pierre Sparr Alsace Riesling
This Riesling is crisp and refreshing, showcasing notes of pear and nectarine balanced with a zippy acidity that’s hard to resist. What better way to enjoy Sham’s unique renditions of German icons Beethoven and Bach than with a distinctly French interpretation of an iconic German grape?

Elegant, grounded, and unapologetically bold — this Rioja brings structure and soul to the table. Like Jane, it’s aged with intention: smooth, layered, and built to speak with quiet authority. A wine for thoughtful conversation, sharp wit, and knowing exactly when to take the gloves off.
White: Maison de Riviere Vouvray
Graceful with a quiet edge, this Vouvray is as layered and luminous as Jane herself. It’s soft but not sweet, never ever boring — the kind of wine that keeps evolving with every sip. A perfect match for someone who’s always known how to reinvent herself without losing her depth.

An Evening with David Sedaris
November 4, 2025
Red: Louis Jadot Beaujolais Village
David Sedaris reminds us that it’s ok to be funny and not too serious every now and then. His books are both thoughtprovoking and humorous, bringing a spark of wit into an ever more uncertain future. What better wine to embody this optimism and cheekiness than Jadot’s Beaujolais? It is light and fresh, juicy and fruity, with a pleasant dry finish, that reminds it’s alright to break conventions from time to time.

Mariza
November 12, 2025
Red: Alexander Valley Vineyards
Homestead Red Blend
Mariza and her authentic Portuguese genre of music, Fado, are characterized by melancholic, soulful and introspective themes. What is most inspiring about Fado music, however, is its message of hope and optimism throughout the sadness. AVV Homestead Red Blend compliments the passion in Mariza’s music. A blend of Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrahthe wine shows boldness and lightness at the same time. It’s a thought-provoking blend: one to spend time with, reflecting on its depth of flavor and our own personal range of emotions.

White: The Wolf Trap by Boekenhoutskloof White Blend
Step into history with ‘The Great Migration’, then sip into something just as vibrant. The Wolf Trap White Blend merges Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc to a dazzling and powerful effect. All at once filled with notes of melon, gingerbread and honeysuckle, this wine is articulate and meaningful- making it the perfect partner to an evening of powerful storytelling and unforgettable footwork.
Hung Dance 10
November 21–22, 2025
Red: Brady Zinfandel
The sharp, poignant and powerful dance stylings of Hung Dance recall the intensity and energy of a well-made Zinfandel. This wine is pure power, with notes of plum, blueberries and a peppery finish. Brazy Zinfandel packs a punch and is unafraid to stand on its own.
White: Raimat Albarino
With crisp acidity and delicate floral finish, Raimat Albarino moves like the dancers of Birdy- precise, poised, and deeply expressive. It’s a pairing that balances elegance with edge, grounded tradition with modern grace.
