An Evening in Argentina

Join us for an unforgettable evening of culture at Mad Priest: An Argentine Asado Experience & Wine Tasting, in partnership with Panoram Imports! 

Haven't heard of Argentine Asado? It is the most popular social gathering in Argentina...a celebration of seared meat and community, filled with good times and liberally doused with Malbec wine over several hours. Slow cooking over natural charcoal allow fats to cook through the meat, leaving it leaner and tastier. Mariano, a native Argentine and local wine importer, will be your asador, or grill master. We emphasize eating slowly to thoroughly enjoy this event and the asador usually saves the best cuts (the ones that take longer to roast) for later in the experience. We can't wait for you to enjoy this ancestral Argentine experience with a such carefully curated, tactfully presented menu! 

Mariano and Angelina of Panoram will also be showcasing some of their incredible wines, and sharing the Argentine culture with us through music, a movie, and slideshow of the glorious Argentine landscape.

ABOUT PANORAM IMPORTS:

Mariano and Angelina are passionate about wine, food, travel and of course... Argentina. Each year, they travel to the wine regions of Argentina and hand-pick the best quality and value wines. They are proud to partner with family-owned vineyards that guarantee sustainable processes from the grape to the bottle. The high altitude of the vineyards and proximity to the Andes Mountains provides the ideal location for the cultivation of grapes. Sandy, rocky soils and high diurnal temperature variation create a unique atmosphere for premium, concentrated wines. Their products represent the land and the people – both passionate and genuine.

Here in the U.S. with their wholesale and restaurant partners, they focus on personal contacts, fluid communication, and continuous education on the ever growing world of wine. Through Panoram, they are able to share their passions and culture through quality wine from Argentina, their catered Argentine Asado Experiences, and Wine Tours to Argentina.
