Guaname Hosted Mexican Winery Dinner
Always in search of the very best wines in every category and price point, we have searched high and low for high quality, reasonably priced Mexican wines to bring to Anhelo. The winery is not in Baja California where a large number of US imported Mexican wines originate, rather in the center of the country in an ideal climatic zone. Situated at 1,800 meters above sea level with warm days and cool nights allow for a diverse varietal composition: Cabernet, Malbec, Merlot, Moscatel, Syrah, Tempranillo.
With only 10+ years of production, they are already receiving international acclaim. Guanamé was awarded Grand Gold Medal at Concours Mondial de Brussels 2024 with Pájaro Azul 2020. Grand Gold Medal at Bacchus Madrid 2024 with Guanamé Sauvignon Blanc 2023 to just name a few.

Three Napa Valley Wineries Hosted Dinner
How to spot a Cult Wine before it becomes unaffordable - winemaking & fruit sourcing are the lead and these wines have it all. The winemakers hold the honor of the highest single bottle sale ever sold; Vineyards consist of appellations from Rutherford & Spring Mountain with heralded names of Beckstoffer & Martinelli Vineyard (and more). The critical acclaim from Robb Report, Wine Independent, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Spectator, etc should be enough introduction to these iconic winemakers: Aaron Pott, Jesse Katz, David Ramey who's combined perfect score wines boggle the mind.
Come join us as wines from three wineries dazzle us with epic bottlings from Chardonnay through incredible Cabernets! These wines will be expertly paired to excite the senses and spread the joy of wonderful experiences from start to finish.
Best Wines Of The World Dinner
What to do for Anhelo's birthday? Well why not do what we do best and put together a wine event like no other! Let's open some of the best wines in the world paired with simple goodness from Chef Ivan in a comfortable unpretentious setting where the simplicity and elegance of the food will allow these unicorn's to do what they do best-, stun while evoking personal emotions. Ok so what can we expect and at what cost? How about at half of what you would think? Sound too good to be true, well it is because we only have a handful of seats available.
Might as well start the night off with Dom Perignon to wet the lips and get us in the mood for what is to come! We will follow that up by a couple of Premier Cru White Burgs from Domaine Leflaive & Roulot, then move to the reds, 2007 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti RSV Grand Cru and then on to the other king of Grapes with a Chateau Lafite plus a Chateau Latour and put those two up against two Domestic competition of Colgin and Harlan's Promontory.
When: October 17th, 2024 at 6pm
Number of Reservations: Not enough
Price: Less than the bottle of DRC
Why; Why not? Birthdays are to be celebrated, wine is made to be drunk and food is made to be enjoyed - and all three together lead to unforgettable memories which is what we strive for at Anhelo.
Château Margaux Wine Dinner
Château Margaux, arguably the most iconic wine in history with iconic fans like President Thomas Jefferson. Over the many years I have visited the Château, during En Premier or a more relaxed exploration, I have never had the honor to go shopping in their cellars to select the exact vintages for what will be one of the most memorable wine dinners in Arizona. This will be a wine dinner never to forget, starting with a heralded wine from the 1980s as we move forward through time.
Hosted by Château Margaux's Deputy Managing Director, he will take us through a once in a lifetime experience, as we journey through time with one of the most recognizable, historic and important Chateaus in the world all expertly prepared by our masterful Chef to tantalize the senses. The wines are all ex-Château (very rare) which is critical when buying and drinking aged wines - not to mention, these wines have been left in their cellar untouched in perfect condition for decades!
Below is the lineup pending any unforeseen complications:
Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc 2018
Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge 2005
Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge 2009
