Oceanside Harbor: NEW LOCATION! HALL/WALT/BACA 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Erin Hamada + Chef Erin Sealy Wed. 3/27

Don't miss an exciting two evening dinner series, featuring iconic wines from HALL, WALT and BACA!

We are very excited to announce our next wine dinner series, featuring three evenings with wines from HALL, WALT and BACA! This series will include an evening at our newest location in Oceanside Harbor, Stratford Court at the Harbor! For our second March series, we are thrilled to announce the return of HALL, WALT and BACA wines! This family of wines from founders, Kathryn Walt-Hall and Craig Hall focuses on offering some of the finest wines from highly sought after vineyards. While HALL focuses on Napa varietals and appellations, WALT and BACA are varietal specific, with a focus on Pinot Noir (WALT) and Zinfandel (BACA) from a variety of stellar vineyards. Erin Hamada-Bigelow will be joining us from the winery to pour wine and share the HALL/WALT/BACA family story. You won't want to miss this fantastic evening of wine, food and conversation! Discover more on these wines by visiting their websites: HALL Wines, WALT Wines, and BACA Wines. For details on all the other dinners as part of this series, please visit our events page: HERE

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.
