La Costa: Aaron 5-Course Winemaker Dinner w/Aaron Jackson + Chef Erin Sealy Tue. 7/18

Please join us for an evening of exceptional Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo Wines!

Please join us at our La Costa location for our next wine dinner, featuring wines from Aaron and Aequorea! In addition to some classic Paso Robles' varietals, we are excited to share selections from Aequorea, which hail from cooler, San Luis Obispo. We'll pour a cool climate viognier and pinot noir, then move into bolder, petite sirah driven blends and single a vineyard expressions. Winemaker, Aaron Jackson will be joining us for the evening to present his wines and discuss the Paso Robles wine region and dynamics. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation from both Aaron 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.
