Downtown: Quigley Fine Wines 4-Course Wine Dinner w/Chef Erin Sealy Fri. 2/18

The return of our pop-up experience in Downtown San Diego, focused on small production wines!

We're very excited to announce our return to Downtown San Diego! With a focus on sourcing artisanal wines from sustainable, small production vineyards in Italy, France, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, California and Oregon, Quigley Fine Wines has built an exceptional portfolio. Believing that the families and winemakers behind every bottle of wine offered are as charming and as interesting as the wines themselves. It is their goal to bridge the gap between the winemaker and the wine drinker – to keep the stories behind the wine alive until the cork is popped and the wine can speak for itself. We'll be pouring four exceptional wines for this event, plus welcome bubbles. Following the welcome wine, Chef Erin will present pairings for the remaining four wines, which include dessert. 

This event will be held indoors, in the renovated event area, downstairs from the main tasting area. This area is large and open. Seating is comprised of 4 top tables, but can be merged for larger groups. Please be sure to note any group seating at the time of reserving.

Each selection will be paired with its own wine inspired 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! Please see below for additional event details and a registration link.

Please DO NOT buy tickets with the assumption that any special request will be met, please check with us first.

Lastly, please note that your total cost for the dinner includes two processing fees that are collected by third parties and do not transfer to Wine Pairs Events.
