For our February dinner, we're excited to announce a Winemaker event with Norm Yost. These very small production wines focus on Pinot and Sparkling from Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley. Norm will join us for the evening to share his current releases and the history behind his small production wines. Since this dinner will consist mostly of pinot, we'll be featuring a Pig + Pinot menu. You won't want to miss this fantastic evening of wine, food and libations!

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.
