Lake Murray: Duckhorn 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Louis Trenta + Chef Erin Sealy Thur. 11/2

Don't miss our next Wine Dinner Series with a fantastic mix of wines from iconic Napa Valley Winery, Duckhorn!

We are very excited to announce our next wine dinner series! We'll feature three evenings, including an evening at our La Mesa/Lake Murray location, Brew Coffee Spot!  For our November series, we'll be featuring fantastic wines from iconic winery, Duckhorn! Over the years, the Duckhorn family of wines has grown to include additional projects from different wine regions. For this dinner we'll focus on some of their selections from Napa and Sonoma, including the very special Duckhorn Howell Mountain Cabernet. Louis Trenta will be joining us from the winery to share and discuss each wine selection and the rich history of the family, winery and regions. To showcase these wines, Chef Erin has created an elevated, seasonal pairing menu. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation!

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.
