The Second Essential Sine Qua Non Dinner

Many would argue there is no better expression of Rhône style blends made in California than the wines of Sine Qua Non. Started in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, each vintage and bottling features designs and unique labels that change year-to-year based on Manfred’s mood and inspiration. His bi-annual release letters are pored over by members of the mailing list, which requires patience to join given the multi-year wait.

Urban Grub is a beloved Nashville destination known for its welcoming atmosphere and elevated Southern-inspired cuisine. Chef Hannah Miller leads this kitchen in offering thoughtfully crafted dishes designed to pair beautifully with these exceptional wines.

This is the second Sine Qua Non dinner generously donated by Valerie and Adam Landa; however, it has been a long nine-year hiatus since the first installment. Nashville Wine Auction patrons are long overdue for a second helping of Sine Qua Non! This exclusive dinner promises a memorable evening of refined flavors, warm hospitality, and standout dining.
