Join us at El Gaucho Portland for an evening with the wines of Staglin Family Vineyard, one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated estates. The Staglin story starts on the famed Rutherford Bench, where vines have grown since 1864. The family came to this land in 1985 and spent years learning its secrets alongside the legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. Today they farm it organically, run it on solar power, and craft their wines in an underground cellar. Every glass is made to carry the character of that remarkable ground.
Chef Gabriel Rodriguez has designed a multi-course dinner around these wines, with each course made to bring out the best in the glass beside it.
