Join us for a rare opportunity to savor distinctive artisan wines from Kistler Vineyards, presented by Master of Wine Geoff Labitzke. This highly respected winery has been producing fine chardonnay and pinot noir for over thirty years, using Old World techniques. “If the Kistler Winery could be magically transported to the middle of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, it would quickly gain a reputation as glorious as any producer of Burgundy grand crus.”— Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
Chef David Viviano, Montage Kapalua Bay Executive Chef David Viviano came to Maui from the St. Regis Aspen Resort & Spa, where he oversaw the resort’s culinary operations, created an impressive sustainability program, and was featured in Wine Spectator and Forbes. He worked at the James Beard Award-winning restaurant Jardiniére in San Francisco and is likely the only Maui chef ever to have won the Aspen Mac-n-Cheese Festival.
The Maui Food Innovation Center, beneficiary of tonight’s dinner, is delighted to showcase Maui’s talented new food entrepreneurs. Chef David Viviano will incorporate their local products as key ingredients in this evening’s special menu.
