Pacific Beach: Tour of Paso Robles 5-Course Wine Dinner with Chef Erin Sealy Wed. 11/11

About this event

Don't miss our next wine dinner at our Pacific Beach location!

We are very excited to announce our next wine dinner at our Pacific Beach location, Drift Cafe! For our November event we're thrilled to share a fantastic line up of wines from a variety of Paso Robles Wineries, including Copia, Cairjn and more! Chef Erin will present an eclectic selection of wines with Fall in mind! We'll start the evening with a white and medium-bodied red, but focus on bold, true-to-Paso-fashion reds. This will be the last time a few of these wines will be featured, all of which are small production offerings from boutique wineries. Chef Erin will craft a seasonal, (warm) fall-themed pairing menu complimenting each of the 5 wines. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation!

Each selection will be paired with its own wine inspired dinner course, prepared by Chef Erin Sealy. Chef Erin specializes in pairing food with wine, with a slightly different approach than most. Prior to creating a menu, each wine is tasted and reviewed and then she creates a food pairing, highlighting the nuances of each wine. This concept creates a dinner and pairing experience with layers of complexity and unique creations which exemplify the enjoyment of each wine. With a passion for food and wine, Chef Erin delights attendees with a detailed account of the pairing concept and cooking techniques that create each course. Expect a fabulous evening of wine, food and educational insights! Seating is limited. Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
