Treat yourself to dinner at one of our favorite Paso restaurants: Il Cortile Ristorante! They’re bringing back their crowd-favorite paired wine dinners.  Here’s how it works: make a reservation, order the paired dinner, and enjoy a stellar match between Il Cortile’s Chef Santos and Alta Colin’s estate-grown Rhones. Bob, Lynn, and Maggie will also be enjoying dinner that night and they’ll absolutely come say hello if they see Alta Colina on your table!
