North Park: Dry Creek Vineyard 3-Course Wine Dinner with Chef Erin Sealy Thur. 1/25

Please join us for our next 3-course event, featuring a fantastic selection of wines from iconic winery, Dry Creek Vineyard!

Please join us for our next dinner at our North Park location! This 3-course dinner will focus on a wonderful selection of wines from Dry Creek Vineyard. We'll feature three different selections, including an exceptional chenin blanc, classic zinfandel and flagship red blend, The Mariner. During this dinner we'll discuss this exciting family winery and their approach to winemaking in different viticultural areas. This will be a great opportunity to taste through some wonderful, perfect for the holidays, wines. Chef Erin will pair seasonal courses for each wine. Don't miss this fun evening of wine, paired cuisine and wine insights!

* 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.
