Paella Like You’ve Never Had It: A Private Party for 10 with Ruben Eduardo Moreno
World Traveler. Renaissance Man. Master of the Fire.
Gather your favorite people and prepare for an unforgettable evening as Ruben Moreno brings the heart of Spain to your home with a live-fire paella experience for 10 guests. A true Renaissance man with a passport full of flavors and stories, Ruben has cooked, explored, and entertained across the globe—and now, he’s showing up in your backyard with a giant paella pan and some serious culinary swagger.
Watch the magic unfold as saffron-scented rice simmers with perfectly seasoned sea- food, chicken, and vibrant veggies—all cooked over flame, right before your eyes. Ruben doesn’t just make a meal—he cre- ates an atmosphere: relaxed, elevated, and filled with joy.
Spring Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 6L
Mountain-grown Napa Cabernet from a cool, low-yield vintage on the eastern Mayacamas slopes above St. Helena. Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, aged 22 months in new French oak.
Nose of black cherry, cranberry, baking spice, tobacco leaf, cola, and florals, with hints of minerality and cassis. Palate is structured and lean rather than plush — firm tannins, blackberry and currant fruit balanced by green olive, cola, and dried herb, with subtle oak despite full new-barrel aging. Moderate 13.6% alcohol. Drinking window roughly 2013–2025; benefits from an hour or two of air.
At 6L, it's a striking, slow-aging format best suited to a centerpiece pour — worth verifying cork condition and provenance given the age
Napa Valley Wine Train Dinner for Two
Step aboard a fully restored 1915 Pullman rail car and let Napa Valley unfold outside your window as golden hour settles over the vines. Over a two-and-a-half hour journey from Downtown Napa to St. Helena and back, you and your guest will savor a three-course, wine country-inspired dinner crafted fresh in the onboard kitchen — think seasonal, locally sourced fare paired beautifully with a curated selection of the Valley's finest wines. Toast with a welcome splash of bubbly as the whistle blows and the train pulls gently forward, then settle in for an evening that blends old-world rail romance with modern culinary artistry. It's an intimate, unhurried escape — just the two of you, the passing vineyards, and a meal worth the ride.
Escape to Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca — Before Everyone Else Discovers It
Bid on three unforgettable nights at Casa Luz Puerto Escondido, and experience one of Mexico’s most exciting coastal destinations at exactly the moment it is capturing the world’s attention. Puerto Escondido—“the hidden port”—is a laid-back stretch of Oaxaca’s Pacific coast where spectacular beaches, world-class surfing, incredible seafood, mezcal, art, and a distinctly bohemian spirit come together. From the legendary waves of Zicatela and the golden sunsets of La Punta to the calm waters of Carrizalillo and the extraordinary lagoons and wildlife just beyond town, there is something here for both the adventurous and the simply sun-seeking. And the secret is officially getting out: National Geographic selected Coastal Oaxaca for its Best of the World 2026 list, while Travel + Leisure recently described Puerto Escondido as “Mexico’s best-kept secret,” highlighting its vibrant art scene, beaches, food, and rapidly evolving boutique-hotel scene.
Your three-night stay at Casa Luz Puerto Escondido is an invitation to discover this remarkable place for yourself. Spend your days surfing, swimming, exploring local markets and galleries, eating extraordinary Oaxacan food, or doing absolutely nothing while listening to the Pacific. For surfers, the moment is particularly special: in March 2026, Puerto Escondido became the 14th World Surfing Reserve in the world, recognizing the extraordinary waves, ecosystems, and surf culture of this coastline. Come see why the world is suddenly paying attention to Puerto Escondido—and enjoy three nights at Casa Luz while it still feels like a discovery.
