Carlsbad Village: Mondavi 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Brian Donegan + Chef Erin Sealy Mon. 7/3

Please join us for an evening of exceptional Napa Valley selections at one of our newest locations!

For our third dinner at our new Carlsbad Village location, Napatini, we are excited to share selections from iconic Napa Valley winery, Robert Mondavi. In addition to some classic Napa varietals, like sauvignon blanc and cabernet, we are also excited to share some lesser-seen Napa varietals, like pinot noir. For this dinner we'll feature a wonderful line-up of wines, including two cabernets, a Napa Valley and an Oakville cabernet, sourced from the acclaimed To Kalon Vineyard. This vineyard is rated the number one vineyard in North American and #7 in the world. Brian Donegan will be joining us from the distributor to discuss the wines, this icon family, and their rich history in the Napa Valley and iconic Winemaker Genevieve Janssens. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation from both Brian and Chef Erin!

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.
