North Park: Cinco de Mayo Shi Shi Taco 3-Course Wine Dinner with Chef Erin Sealy Fri. 5/5

Please join us for our next 3-course event, featuring a variety of favorite wines each paired with a different shi shi taco!

Please join us for our next dinner at our North Park location! This 3-course dinner will focus on an eclectic selection of wines from different wineries and wine regions. These wines represent some of our favorite wines from the past 18 months and showcase how diverse different regions are. The real theme for this dinner is in celebration of Cinco de Mayo! Chef Erin's shi shi tacos have a following all on their own and this will be the first time you'll see three different versions, all in the same dinner. "What's a shi shi taco", you ask? Think a nuanced, colorful collection of ingredients, each adding to the paring concept, presented in a way that ensures each bite, is a perfect bite. This will be a great opportunity to taste through an eclectic line up of wines from different wineries. Don't miss this fun evening of wine, paired tacos and celebration!

* Please note, this dinner will take place on the second floor in event space. A flight of exterior, low-rise stairs is the only way to access this event area.

We're happy to announce the return of 3-course dinners; offering an incredible value at a time when we're all only hearing about increasing costs. Once a month I will offer an abbreviated, 3-course dinner at either HardiHood in North Park or Drift Cafe in Pacific Beach. This equates to a full meal (appetizer, two light entrees and complimentary dessert) along with 3 paired wines, still 3oz pours of each. It is the same great concept of wine pairing with discussions on both the wine and food. 

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.
