Pacific Beach: Tooth & Nail 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Debra Loft + Chef Erin Sealy: Wed. 12/13

Don't miss our next Wine Dinner Series with a fantastic mix of wines from Paso Robles!

We are very excited to announce our next wine dinner series! We'll feature two evenings, including an evening at our Pacific/Mission Beach location, Drift Cafe! For our Second December series, we'll be featuring fantastic wines from Paso Robles favorite, Tooth & Nail! We'll showcase 5 wines, each focusing on the terroir of the Central Coast. We'll be pouring a great line-up of wine, focusing on multiple brands/lines from the Tooth & Nail Family, including a very special pour of their premium label, Amor Fati, Destinata and the original Tooth & Nail label. Debra Loft will join us for the evening from the winery to share these creative wines and the story behind them. Chef Erin will prepare an elevated, seasonal pairing menu with a holiday theme. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation!

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.
