About the event

Don't miss an exciting evening featuring fantastic small-production wines!

We are very excited to announce our next dinner series! We'll feature three evenings in a row, including an evening at our La Mesa/Lake Murray location, Brew Coffee Spot! For our July series, we're thrilled to announce a fantastic line up of 5 small production wines from Sonoma's Sojourn Cellars. Sojourn Cellars began in 2001 as a collaboration between two tennis friends–Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley–who shared a passion for great wine. With Erich’s experience as an Assistant Winemaker at Arrowood Winery, the two developed a plan to produce small bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon from extraordinary vineyard sources. Starting with just over a hundred cases of Cabernet Sauvignon that was sold to friends and family. Over the next 10 years, they have earned critical acclaim. What began as a personal journey has evolved into a first-class boutique winery that crafts high-quality artisan Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Marco Wright, Sojourn's Regional Sales Manager, will be joining us for the evening to share these exceptional wines and discuss the winery's storied past. 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.
