Join us at Zio Peppe for a special five-course dinner celebrating the wines of Southern Arizona’s Rune Wines, featuring winemaker James Callaghan and a menu created by Zio Peppe Chef and Co-Owner Devon Sanner.
Founded by Callaghan in 2013, Rune has become known for its distinctive expressions of Arizona terroir, native-yeast fermentation, and wines that reflect the character of the high desert. James’s winemaking journey has taken him from Arizona to Washington, New Zealand and California before ultimately bringing him home to build Rune in Southern Arizona.
For the evening, Chef Devon Sanner has created a five-course menu inspired by Rune’s wines, bringing Zio Peppe’s Italian sensibility together with the ingredients and flavors of the Southwest. James will join us throughout the dinner to share the wines, the stories behind them, and his perspective on Arizona winemaking.
