North Park: Summer Wines + Seafood 3-Course Wine Dinner with Chef Erin Sealy Fri. 8/23

Please join us for our next 3-course event, featuring a fantastic selection of wines and summer fare!

Please join us for our next dinner at our North Park location! For our August 3-course dinner we'll be featuring a great line up of wines, perfect for the hot, late-summer months. We'll share two exceptional white wines and one bold red, paired alongside a seafood and seasonal vegetable focused menu. Chef Erin will share the concept behind each pairing and provide insights into each wine and corresponding region. Expect a wonderful evening of wine, food and insights from Erin. Don't miss this fun evening of wine, paired cuisine and conversation!

* 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 events; 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/brunch 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.
