Spend an unforgettable evening in the most exclusive venue in Nashville with Chris Carpenter—whose extraordinary talent has earned 21 perfect 100-point scores from the world’s most-respected critics. On February 4, 2026, this “Above the Fogline” 2015 l’Eté du Vin Guest of Honor is returning from Napa Valley to join you for a night of intimate conversation, rare wines, and unforgettable flavors.

Your hosts, Cookie and Kirk Richardson and Lisa Maki and David Osborn, welcome you into The SEVENS Club, the members-only club crafted by country music legends Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood alongside Benjamin and Max Goldberg of Strategic Hospitality. Overlooking the neon glow of Lower Broadway, this hidden lounge sets the stage for an extraordinary evening.

Begin with vintage Champagne paired with exquisite caviar in the elegant lounge, then move to the private dining room for a multi-course dinner crafted by Chef Andy Little, a two-time James Beard Semifinalist celebrated for his modern Appalachian cuisine. With multiple nominations for the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurateurs, most recently in 2025, you can be assured the Goldberg brothers will craft an unforgettable dinner experience!

Wines from Chris Carpenter’s portfolio will be expertly paired throughout the evening. This intimate dinner with Chris will be full of captivating conversations about his masterful winemaking, his passion for jazz, or his contributions to renowned hillside vineyards. You will be sipping cocktails, Champagne and great wines including Cardinale, Lokoya, and the renowned W.S. Keyes Merlot all graciously donated from the cellars of your hosts.

This dinner sold at the 46th Annual l’Eté du Vin.
