LearnAboutWine proudly presents Sine Qua Non - “The Dinner” - hosted at the acclaimed Jar restaurant. Thursday, May 9th at 6:45 pm.$100 DEPOSIT | $895 ALL INCLUSIVE
Dinner is $690 plus tax, tip, and fees = $895. We collect $100 deposits (non-refundable) until we have hit the event minimum and then we bill for the balance. Deposits are non-refundable unless event is not successful. We open one bottle per guest and also allow guests to bring a special bottle to share with the table - which resulted in an obscene amount of wine being shown at the last gathering (in a good way). Culina is not just a great restaurant at the Four Seasons - The Chef is intimately involved in our menu and the beef is some of the best in the City.
The Sine Qua Non Dinner is an exclusive showcase of wine and culinary mastery, curated by LearnAboutWine, an esteemed authority in wine education and immersive experiences. This event invites wine enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and food aficionados to embark on a journey of sensory delight, where every sip and bite is a revelation.
One of the world’s iconic wineries, Sine Qua Non started with an incredible vision with their first release in 1994 as Manfred Krankl’s brainchild; SQN remains one of the most famed producers not only in the United States, but across the globe. Born in Austria, Manfred Krankl studied at the Hotel School in Gmunden, Austria and eventually moved to Los Angeles, California where he met his wife, Elaine. In 1989 Manfred became the Wine Director at Campanile and slowly began learning about winemaking. He first made wine from the 1990 vintage. He would later partner with wine legend John Alban until releasing his first wine, ‘The Queen of Spades’ in 1994. Manfred and Elaine will be consulted on the dinner but will not be in attendance as harvest has commenced but wine expert Ian Blackburn will be presenting the stories and history of each bottle presented.
