Backstreet Pop-up Argentinian Wine Dinner featuring Catena Zapata

Wednesday, January 29
6 PM RECEPTION - 6:30 PM SEATED DINNER
Join us Wednesday, January 29 at Hugo's for our first Backstreet Pop-up wine dinner of the year featuring Catena Zapata! Come learn about these Argentinian wines paired with Chef Hugo and Chef Ruben Ortega's 4-course menu, and say hello to some of your favorite Backstreet employees now at Hugo's!
Catena Zapata, founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, is known for its pioneering role in resurrecting Malbec from its declining popularity in Bordeaux and in discovering extremely high-altitude terroirs in the Andean foothills of Mendoza, Argentina. It is the oldest Argentine family winery run by Nicola’s grandson, Nicolás Catena Zapata, and his daughter, Laura Catena. Nicolás is one of the most decorated winemakers alive. Laura created the Catena Institute of Wine, which develops Argentina’s sustainability code and collaborates with top universities to help Argentinian wines reach their full potential. In 2023, Catena Zapata was voted number one in the World’s Best Vineyards Awards and won best overall South American vineyard. Brand Manager Jorge Lilly will join us for the dinner!
