La Costa: Red Stitch 5-Course Wine Dinner w/John Micek + Chef Erin Sealy Wed. 12/7

Please join us for an evening of exceptional wines from award winning vineyards!

For our December dinner, we're excited to announce our first dinner featuring wines from Red Stitch Wines! We've selected a fantastic lineup of wines that will showcase some of the exceptional vineyards this wine group sources from. Born from a group of friends who loved baseball and wine, in 2008 after their professional baseball playing days came to a close, these friends set their sights on turning a growing hobby into an award-winning business. After teaming up with renowned winemaker, Rolando Herrera and gaining access to highly sought after vineyards in Napa Valley and Santa Lucia Highlands, this dream became reality. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation from both John 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.
