The ‘Aipono Wine Dinner Series is proud to present Kistler Vineyards, a small private winery known for producting some of the world's finest chardonneys and pinot noirs. Founded by the Kistler family in 1978, the winery is dedicated to the vinification of world-class wine using Old World Burgundian techniques. Kistler's Master of Wine Geoff Labitzke will present the iconic wines of this top California estate--paired with a special menu by Moroccan-born Chef Mourad Lahlou. Zagat declared Lahlou's Aziza one of the San Francisco's top 10 Bay Area restaurants of the decade. In 2010, Lahlou won the Food Network's Iron Chef America by a record-breaking margin.

 
Proceeds from the 'Aipono Wine Dinner Series benefits the Maui Culinary Academy. Students additionally benefit from the opportunity to apprentice in 'Aipono-winning restaurants.

Chefs Brian Etheredge and Chris Kulis outdid themselves at the August 20 ‘Aipono Wine Dinner, hosted by Capische. Thick, pillowy marscapone-stuffed tortellini dusted with fennel pollen started the evening on a luxurious note, followed by a sunset that dazzled diners seated on the intimate lanai. Charles Fredy of Chambers & Chambers shared wines that showed off the versatility of California’s central coast. One diner described the ‘07 Sleepy Hollow chardonnay from Testarossa Vineyards as “intergalactic”; another praised its “longevity.” In an environment this delicious, it's easy to play sommelier.

About the 'Aipono Awards


The ‘Aipono Awards are the first high-profile restaurant awards devoted entirely to Maui. They are awards of honor and distinction determined by our readers, the residents and visitors of Maui. The prestigious Chef of the Year title is decided by peer review, voted on exclusively by Maui chefs and industry insiders.


The annual ‘Aipono Awards Gala is a benefit for the Maui Culinary Academy. Guests are regaled with wines and spirits by Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants, sumptuous pupu (appetizers) prepared and served by Academy students, and a fabulous gourmet dinner hosted by three ‘Aipono-winning restaurants. Students enjoy the invaluable experience of working alongside sponsor restaurant chefs on the day of the event, in preparing the gala’s dinner. Ticket sales generate valuable unencumbered funds for the school, as well as scholarship money for deserving students. At this event—everyone’s a winner!


Throughout the year, the ‘Aipono Winemaker’s Dinner Series brings the industry’s top winemakers to ‘Aipono Award-winning restaurants. Dinners are designed to be intimate and educational, with the direction of Advanced Sommelier Charles Fredy of Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants and personal appearances by winery owners and/or representatives.
