ABOUT ELIXIR WINE GROUP “We have been importing fine wines from Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay for nearly two decades. In 2012, we began extending this reputation by building a select portfolio from Oregon, Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. In 2018, we added Australia. Elixir is proud to represent wines from some of the finest family-owned producers in the world. We own and operate Bodega Calle winery in Luján de Cuyo, Argentina; an historic estate established in 1925 that Kirk Ermisch and his original Argentine partners, restored to its full glory in 2001, as an award winning producer of varietal wines and organically-farmed, proprietary red blends. Ermisch travels to Argentina for part of each year to oversee harvest operations at Bodega Calle and to keep in contact with all our suppliers in South America. He also travels to Europe each year with the same purpose. In this way, we continue to bring the best wines to our wholesale partners and customers throughout the United States.”

1st Course Argentinian Shrimp Taco Wine-Cruzat NV Brut Classico “Fresh, with persistent citrus and floral notes over a foundation of toasty tropical fruit flavors. Bright acidity holds everything together well. Surprisingly good with Vietnamese fare, especially nuoc cham drenched salads!”

2nd Course Creamy Mushroom Baked Pasta Wine-Bodega Calle Alberti 154 Malbec “Garnet violet color. Aromas of roasted nuts, latte, and dried berries with a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a zesty, chocolate citrus peel, bacon bits, and earth accented finish with fine chewy tannins. Excellent balance and flavor for a wide range of foods.”

Entrée Carne Adovada (New Mexico Style Pork with Red Chilies Wine-Durigutti Cabernet Franc “Lush, with boysenberry, plum sauce, dark licorice and fruitcake flavor that are held together by a juice underpinning. Licorice and fruitcake notes take an encore on the slightly raisined finish.”
