Breaking news, wine dinner fans! We've just confirmed that Grammy Award winning French guitarist Stephane Wrembel will be joining us for an extraordinary celebration of French wine & food and, of course, music: A “Midnight in Paris” Pairing Dinner @ Turtle + the Wolf…SIGN UP NOW! This event will go down as one of the most memorable in AV history!
ONLY 46 SEATS AVAILABLE! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
OK, folks this is going to be absolutely EPIC! Although it's early in the year, we have no problem billing this night as the “CAN’T-MISS” event of 2026 for Amanti Vino. I mean, come on. Amanti's favorite French wine, Chef Lo's Parisienne "bistro style" cuisine, and Django Reinhardt-inspired jazz played LIVE by the master himself...could it get any better?!? Nope. It can't :)
Join us on Tuesday, March 10th, @ 7PM at Turtle + the Wolf for an evening of French wine & cuisine paired with the sounds of world-renowned guitarist Stephane Wrembel! Stephane has become a bit of a regular over at our Montclair shop and we couldn't pass up an opportunity to host a wine event with him. If you came to our 20th Anniversary event @ MAM, then you already know how well Manouche jazz (a.k.a. French Jazz, Gypsy Jazz) pairs with all things Amanti Vino -- and this event will take it all to the next level! For this event, Stephane will play short sets in-between each carefully curated course. From impressionist solo compositions by the great Django Reinhardt, to traditional waltzes, to Louisiana swing, and, of course, his famous Grammy winning composition “Bistro Fada”, the range of styles & techniques will dazzle any music lover. As for the pairing menu, we have a stunning line-up of French food and wine inspired by the French countryside. A celebration of France for all the senses, this is truly an event NOT TO BE MISSED!
Stéphane Wrembel is quite simply one of the finest guitarists of his generation. Renowned for his unparalleled breadth and depth as a musician, composer, and educator, Wrembel has spent over two decades shaping a sound that transcends genre and borders. Wrembel’s global breakthrough came with his composition “Bistro Fada,” the charming waltz that became the theme for Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar®-winning film Midnight in Paris. The song appeared on his fifth album Origins and on the film’s Grammy-winning soundtrack. In 2012, Wrembel performed “Bistro Fada” live at the Academy Awards alongside Hans Zimmer and an all-star ensemble. Since his debut in 2002, he has released a steady stream of acclaimed recordings, establishing himself as one of the most distinctive and original guitar voices in contemporary music. Wrembel has headlined stages at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall in New York City, and the Lyon Opera House in France. He has performed and collaborated with musical luminaries including Jean-Michel Pilc, Sam Bush, Stochelo Rosenberg, Esperanza Spalding, and Al Di Meola.
