We cordially invite you to join us for a special wine dinner featuring the illustrious wines of Bodegas Tempore from the Aragon wine region in Spain on Wednesday, September 27th at 6:30 p.m.

During this dinner, Bodega Tempore's Owner Paula Yago Aznar will walk diners through each wine pairing and share their knowledge and passion about these opulent wines that are modern, yet deeply rooted and devoted to tradition.

Chefs David Cardona and David Sierra will serve a decadent tasting menu where each dish pairs perfectly with the featured Bodegas Tempore's wine. Each course will be paired with a different Tempore selection to truly showcase the beauty and flavors of these intense, powerful and rich red wines made with Tempranillo and Granacha grapes. 

A little about the winery: Sustainable, organic and biodynamic vineyards, Bodegas TEMPORE was born from the passion for wine and the vineyard of the Yago Aznar Family. A family winery based on the experience of four generations of vine growers who know their vineyards and know that the quality of a wine has to be based on an impeccable raw material. The winery was born in 2002, when the facilities were inaugurated with the first vintage. Our vineyards are cultivated, passing from parents to children for more than four generations. Old grenache vines that coexist with modern plantations that have been incorporated into our farms, always with one premise: quality
