Join us on September 17th for a special wine dinner with Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson, founder of Benvenusa Wine Imports and Michelin-starred Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, CO. The Hestia Chef team will be pairing 7 of these special wines with 5 courses of live-fire driven cuisine.

Benvenusa was founded in 2023 by Bobby Stuckey MS, and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson, who have been business partners for over 20 years since founding the iconic Michelin-starred restaurant Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado. Their passion for the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia is profound, having traveled to the region countless times, not only for regional inspiration but also for their wine company, Scarpetta, established in 2007. Now, their portfolio features all artisanal, truly micro producers, that farm less than 10 hectares of vineyards, harvest by hand and are driven by an earnest desire to make serious, compelling wines.

The mission of Benvenusa is to import small Italian growers who, for the most part, have never been imported into the U.S. These artisanal viticoltori represent what we have always loved about the country’s lesser-known wine-growing areas — undiscovered Italy, yet wines that cast a wide net of deliciousness and application. They hope that through their efforts, Benvenusa can bring greater awareness to these great regions and celebrate the next generation of emerging winemakers.

Tonight's the night. Help us give a warm welcome to our home and hearth.

Tatemo is a maize-driven restaurant born from deep reverence for Mexican culinary heritage. Founded in 2020 by Chef Emmanuel Chavez and Co-Owner Megan Maul, the concept began as a pandemic-era farmers market operation -- selling heirloom tortillas and masa and hosting underground dinners -- before opening its intimate 16-seat brick and mortar in Houston in 2022. Every dish is anchored in nixtamalized heirloom corn sourced from small farmers in Mexico, prepared without additives or colorants, honoring the ancient technique that has sustained Mexican culture for millennia.
