Our BIGGEST, WILDEST, and most unforgettable night yet! From flying in DJs and barbers to bringing together incredible artists, creatives, and brands, the energy was absolutely INSANE!

**It takes a village! 🙌**

So many talented people, countless hours of planning, and so many moving pieces went into making this night possible. A HUGE mahalo to EVERYONE who helped bring this vision to life! ❤️

One of Italy’s most legendary wines takes center s One of Italy’s most legendary wines takes center stage at Chef Chai. 🍷🇮🇹

This Tuesday, October 6th, join us for a special evening celebrating the wines of Tenuta San Guido, home of Sassicaia—the Tuscan icon that helped define the “Super Tuscan” movement.

Sassicaia has an incredible history. First commercially released with the 1968 vintage, it went on to become so influential that Bolgheri Sassicaia was ultimately recognized with its own DOC designation—a remarkable distinction tied specifically to the estate and its iconic wine.

The evening will be hosted by Master Sommelier Patrick Okubo, with special guest Sara Klein, who brings more than 13 years of experience and firsthand relationships with Italian winery owners and winemakers. Side by Side.pdf

Chef Chai has created a special multi-course dinner to accompany the evening’s wines—from Agricola Punica to Tenuta San Guido—with each course designed around the pairing.
