Evening Wine Tasting Notes:

Experience the bold and velvety flavors of Montes Chilean Wines: Montes, a visionary wine venture, was brought to life by the collective expertise, wisdom, and dedication of four remarkable creators: Aurelio Montes, Douglas Murray, Alfredo Vidaurre, and Pedro Grand. Their shared vision revolved around crafting top-tier 'premium' wines tailored for discerning global markets. This trailblazing spirit led them to pioneer exceptional wine production in Chile, setting new standards for quality.

Delight in Argentinian wines: Immerse your senses in the crisp and revitalizing notes of Alta Vista's Argentinian wines – a standout winery that reigns supreme. Elevated at altitudes surpassing 3,200 feet, their vineyards create a masterpiece of unparalleled freshness and intricacy in each bottle. Nestled exclusively in the finest regions of Mendoza, Alta Vista's collection captures the very essence of Argentina's winemaking potential.

Explore The Bodega Norton Estate Selection: Nestled against the majestic Andes foothills, Bodega Norton's vineyards are a testament to time, nurturing vines that have matured gracefully for 30 to 80 years. This timeless wisdom imparts deep richness and complexity, evident throughout their distinguished portfolio, encapsulating the true character of their terroir.
