UPCOMING EVENTS
I Nonni and Sunfish Cellars invite you to join us for one of the many Tastings, Wine Classes or Dinners that allow us to showcase the undeniable relationship between food and wine. If you’d like to always be informed of these events please sign-up for our newsletter. We hope for the opportunity to serve you soon.
Join us Thursday, August 6th at 6:30pm for a Zoom tasting of Nicolas Catena wines with head winemaker Nesti Bajda. Nicolas Catena is inarguably Argentina's most important and pioneering winery. Their vision is to make rich and unforgettable wines that are true to the special place they come from. Founded in 1902, Bodega Catena Zapata is known for its pioneering role in resurrecting Malbec and in discovering extreme high altitude terroirs in the Andean foothills of Mendoza. Nesti hosted a tasting of his wines with us last year and it was one of the most successful tastings we have conducted. And, if we are lucky, Nesti will sing a little opera for us!
Thursday's tasting will include (we will taste them in this order)
2017 Catena Cabernet Franc "San Carlos", $19.99
2017 was a warmer and slightly riper year and the wine shows softer and riper. It matured in 100% French oak barrels before it was bottled in 2018. Superb Cab Franc.

2017 Catena Malbec "Paraje Altamira", $19.99
This really stands out in 2017. It has finesse and subtleness, with harmony, balance, and elegance.

2017 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon "Agrelo", $19.99
A textbook example of Agrelo with juicy fruit and polished, sweet tannins. It shows a very classical Bordeaux-like profile – peppery, spicy, and elegant.

Do you miss having a glass of wines with friends and loved ones during these trying times? We understand (we miss seeing you in the store and restaurant), but we have a solution and it's so simple! All you have to do is pick some friends, pick a day and time, pick some wines, and we'll do the rest so you can have a private, in-home(s), properly socially distancing personal wine tasting for you and your friends.
It's so easy!
- Pick a day other than Thursday and a time.
- Pick three bottles of wine from our website: https://sunfishcellars.com/collections/wine-2 or give our wine director some guidelines and we will select the wines for you (minimum total $75 for the three bottles).
- Pick at least nine friends (or nine couples, or nine groups of any size)
- Email us at hoyt@sunfishcellars.com with the email address of each member of your group and the three wines you have selected.
Once it's set up, have each member of your group pick up their three bottles prior to the tasting and follow along with our wine director Hoyt as he tastes the wines in a systematic, professional manner. Learn about grape varieties you may not have tasted before, or about wine regions you may not be familiar with! And, most of all, have fun doing it!
We will create a Zoom conference and you can enjoy the tasting conducted by our wine director from the comfort of your home, while staying safe!
You can even pick up a cheese and olive platter to enjoy with the tasting: https://sunfishcellars.com/products/catering-cheeseandoliveplatter
