On tonight’s Pop In @ Vida…

~Wines with Age~

Jared has a couple flights in mind, and some may say they’re oldies but goodies. We say they’re proof that some things only get better with time.

For our last July Pop In, we’re raising a glass to the bottles, the stories, and most importantly, the people who make nights like these happen.

See you tonight!

Pop In @ Vida this Wednesday, the 15th!

This time we’re welcoming guest sommelier Steve Morgan of The Sorting Table. Although he now works as an importer, Steve has worked as a sommelier at some of the most legendary restaurants in New York and Chicago, including Tribeca Grill, Del Posto, and Alinea.

This Pop In will celebrate the wines he has brought to our list at Vida. We’ll be pouring Domaine Dujac, Alex Moreau, Castello di Ama, Snowden, and several others by the glass. At half price.

Come raise a glass with one of the greats!

Hiramasa frequently appears in the early part of the tasting menu experience at Vida. Part of the Amberjack family, we love it for its firm texture that holds its shape and clean finish - making it ideal for lightly curing and serving as fresh as possible.

Recently we’ve been serving Haku Hiramasa (Haku is the Māori name for Hiramasa) from Ruakākā, New Zealand, a small town on the North Island. New Zealand has long been at the cutting edge of sustainable and environmentally friendly Hiramasa sourcing, and we’re excited to share this incredible fish with our guests here in Indianapolis.

If you've dined with us over the past few years, you have probably interacted with Amira Vanest in some form, whether while booking a reservation, planning the final details of a special occasion, or simply walking in and being greeted by her. Today, we're so excited to share that she has stepped into the role of Assistant Manager and Director of Guest Relations at Vida.

She first started working with us as a Host shortly after graduating from Herron High School and remained a part of the team part-time throughout her years at Purdue University. After graduating in an impressive three years, she rejoined the team full-time as Lead Host and, in no time, made a significant impact on every aspect of our operations through her natural leadership, proactive work ethic, attention to detail, and special ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

This promotion is the natural next step for her, and we can't wait to see the even greater impact she will make in her new role.

Cheers to you, Amira, and congratulations!

We will be closed for a private event this evening.

We will be closed this evening for our sold out Turley wine dinner and we will not be accepting walk-ins this evening. Normal service hours resume tomorrow 5-9!

Hi friends, Jared here. We're excited to announce our next wine dinner series event, featuring Whitney Turley of Turley Wine Cellars, Wednesday June 10th.

Zinfandel. Old Vines. California. Turley. It's hard to talk about one without talking about the other.

Since 1993, Larry Turley has been a champion of California's old vines and the potential they hold for unique expression of site, grape, and heritage. Indeed, Turley Wine Cellars works with more old vine vineyards today than any other winery in the world. With over 50 different vineyard sources across California, it's not a stretch to say they are the leaders in regenerating, maintaining, and protecting the precious vine material that otherwise would've been lost to time, neglect, and real estate development.

Join us as we welcome next generation Whitney Turley to Vida. Whitney will be walking us through her family's wines and sharing stories alongside a tasting menu from Chef Thomas Melvin specifically designed to showcase the wines being poured - which will include Turley's Rosé, White Rhone Blend, an exploration of Zinfandel as a vessel of terroir, and a side by side of current release vs. 2006 Hayne Vineyard Petite Syrah.

We are so excited for this special evening, and we look forward to sharing it with you.

Tickets available via our OpenTable page.

Massican takeover on the bar side tomorrow. Come share a glass with owner and winemaker Dan Petroski.
