Kistler Vineyards has been synonymous with great wine for over 40 years, making vineyard designated Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with grapes from some of Sonoma’s finest vineyards. Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler founded this winery in 1978 on the notion that compelling wines of site should be made in California. They have had long-term relationships with local growers- the shortest of which is 30 years! In 2013, Steve Kistler founded Occidental Wines to focus on making world-class Pinot Noir from the Freestone-Occidental AVA in Sonoma. Steve retired from Kistler in 2017, handing control to winemaker Jason Kesner, who had been at Kistler since 2008. Jason became President and Head Winemaker to guide Kistler through the next 40 years. Tonight’s dinner will feature two Kistler Chardonnays, a Kistler PNO and an Occidental PNO perfectly paired with the gourmet Indian cuisine of Akbar’s Owner/Chef Avinash Kapoor. All the wines will be available for ordering at attractive prices.
