Join us for an immersive evening celebrating the expressive wines of Juan Gil Family Estates, one of Spain’s most acclaimed winemaking families. From crisp Brut to vibrant rosé, coastal Albariño to two powerful expressions of old vine Monastrell, each wine will be paired with a thoughtfully prepared Spanish tapa served family style by Chef Challis Hodge.

This guided tasting will be led by Steve Pagni, Regional Director for Juan Gil Family Estates, along with Rob Rapp of Cutting Edge Selections, one of the Midwest’s premier fine wine importers.

Whether you’re a devoted fan of Spanish reds or discovering Monastrell for the first time, this tasting offers a flavorful journey through Jumilla and beyond.
