Break all the wine-pairing rules at this lively, unpretentious dinner hosted by Wildest chef Trilby Tatro and master sommelier Emmanuel Kemiji. This fun, flavor-packed evening features five gourmet tacos — highlighting meat, fish, and plant-based ingredients — each paired with a distinct wine varietal. Discover bold, unexpected combinations that challenge traditional pairings.
