Mission Beach: Tour of Bordeaux 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Olivier Tonnerre + Chef Erin Sealy Thur. 12/8

Please join us for an evening featuring wines from Bordeaux, presented by French wine expert, Olivier Tonnerre!

For our December dinner, we're very excited to announce an exceptional lineup of wines from Bordeaux paired with holiday fare! We've selected a wonderful variety of wines that will showcase selections from the Right and Left banks of Bordeaux. We'll also feature quintessential Bordeaux offerings, Semillon and Sauternes to round out the dinner. Crowd favorite and French wine guru, Olivier Tonnerre will join us for the evening to chat about these stellar offerings and the Bordeaux region as a whole. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation from both Olivier 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.
