  • Greetings everyone!   Passing along a special invitation from Mark Sayre, the Wine Director for TRIO at Four Seasons Hotel in Austin. Mark is hosting a beautiful LIOCO wine dinner next week.  A rare (and fun!) fine-wine occasion with a few rare vintages from LIOCO.  Please RSVP quickly, this one is not to be missed! Cheers - Ali

    "July in Austin means H-O-T! So TRIO will focus our next event with one of the newest, most sought after producers of elegant, refreshing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay: LIOCO. 

    Friends Matt Licklider (an import specialist) and Kevin O’Connor (former Wine Director fort Wolfgang Puck’s famed Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills) started LIOCO to prove that ‘site specific’ wines could be created using special vineyard sites in California with Pinot and Chardonnay being the conduits. Creating a wine that is specific in its origin begins with recognizing the need for more difficult growing conditions (altitude, extreme temperatures, poor soils) and is followed through with Old World winemaking practices. Matt and Kevin have been met with success using this disciplined approach that harnesses not only a beautiful wine, but a wine that is very reflective of the place it came from and nowhere else—such singularity in wine is worth pursuing!

    True to TRIO's dedication to selecting high quality, honest, small production wineries for our diner's wine experiences, the wines of LIOCO are scarce in quantity due to demand that we are so grateful to have them in Austin.  Please join us as founder/owner, Kevin O’Connor, guides us through a thoughtfully paired menu from the culinary talents of Executive Chef Elmar Prambs and Chef de Cuisine Todd Duplechan.  Please see the menu below and call TRIO at 512-685-8300 for reservations."

    I look forward to seeing you at the table,

    Mark
