Today, we're celebrating a few fantastic Wines of the Week, but we're also looking ahead to a very special event happening on June 16th at Pampa Social, where I'll be hosting a wine dinner that promises to be full of great food, great wine, and even better company. Email Mandi @ mrobertsonbelvin@gmail.com for more info. 

And who better to join us than the people behind it all? Today, we're welcoming Martin Fernandez Mores and Jorge Hans Nunez, the co-owners of Pampa Social. Their restaurant has quickly become a place where people gather not just for brunch, lunch, tapas, and wine, but for a genuine sense of hospitality and connection.

Inspired by Turkish, Colombian, and Argentine flavours, Pampa Social is a reflection of their own stories, cultures, and experiences. Today we'll learn about their childhoods, what inspired them to pursue a life in food and hospitality, and how they created a restaurant where everyone feels like family the moment they walk through the door.
