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?

White: Underwood Pinot Gris*

This Pinot Gris is one cool cat! Soft and gentle, with layers and depth of flavor just waiting to be explored. This wine captivates the nostalgic and easy-going vibes of the Orchestraeffortless but impactful, with peppy citrus notes and a smooth finish.

*Sorry! These wines will only be available in the Green Room and Cast Party! But seriously, swing by H-E-B to pick up these wines! Smooth as Jeff's jazz.

October 8, 2025

Red: Masi Campofiorin

Bringing Tart cherry, a little earth, and an easy warmth make it the kind of red you want around when the conversation gets good. It’s generous without showing off — just like Samin’s cooking. Rooted in tradition but always full of joy, this wine invites you to slow down, pass the bread, and stay a little longer.

White: Welcome to Italy Pinot Grigio

Zippy and full of charm, Welcome to Italy Pinot Grigio captures Samin Nosrat’s secret sauce: joy, balance and serious flavor without taking itself too seriously. This is a classic Chef’s Selection- it pairs easily with a variety of dishes, and its exceptional quality for the price ensures you won’t feel bad using a little splash to deglaze your pan!

An Evening with Jane Fonda

October 20, 2025

Red: Ondarre Primeur Rioja

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.

TwoSet Violin

October 24, 2025

Red: Dona Paula Cabernet Franc

Like TwoSet Violin, this is a bold reimagining of a timeless classic, blending centuries old music with modern wit and unfiltered creativity. Dona Paula Cabernet Franc has earthy roots and an expressive edge that mirrors TwoSet’s ability to honor tradition while playfully pushing the boundaries.

White: Daou Rose

This Rose is a radiant expression of elegance and charm, much like this duo’s playful brilliance. Its bright, refreshing character mirrors Brett & Eddy’s ability to make the classical feel effortlessly modern and approachable.

Lila Downs: Dia de Los Muertos

October 21, 2025

Red: E. Guigal Cotes du Rhone

Bold, vibrant, and deeply expressive, this Côtes du Rhône blend carries the spirit of tradition with a fresh, powerful voice — much like Lila Downs herself. Rich with ripe red fruit and earthy complexity, it honors heritage while celebrating boldness and resilience.

White: Pine Ridge White Blend

A refreshing companion to a night full of stories, song, and soul. This white blend mirrors the vibrant colors and joyful spirit of Lila Downs’s music with its crisp acidity and intense fruit flavors. This is a versatile white wine that balances celebration and reflection.

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.

White: Yealands Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc’s bright, crisp and unexpected character is the perfect match for turning David’s sharp wit, poignant self-reflection and everyday absurdities into laugh out loud storytelling.

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: Banfi Principessa Gavi

Mariza sings with luminous clarity and emotional depth, much like Banfi Principessa Gavi. Bringing bright citrus, green apple, and mineral notes that offer a clean, elegant finish that lingers like a final perfect note.

Step Afrika!

November 14–15, 2025

Red: Petite Petite by Michael David

Just like Step Afrika’s precise and captivating movements, Petite Petite is a powerful, impactful wine that moves to its own rhythm, keeping time between the balance of mouthwatering acidity and percussive tannin.

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.
