Shelter Island: Bella Grace 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Jess Havill + Chef Erin Sealy: Sun. 3/19

Don't miss a fantastic line up of Amador County wines and seasonal pairings!

Please join us for a very special wine dinner in Shelter Island at The Wine Pub, featuring fantastic wines from Bella Grace Winery! Jess Havill, sales/production guru and son of owner/winemaking team Michael and Charlie Havill, will be joining us for the evening to share his family's wines. This very special dinner will focus on small production wines and varietals which excel in Amador County. In addition to their flagship Barbera, we'll also pour a unique white and other classic Amador varietals. To showcase these wines, Chef Erin has created an elevated, seasonal pairing menu. You won't want to miss this fantastic evening of wine, food and conversation!

With the cooler weather, we have moved dinners inside of the venue, which is closed on Sundays. We look forward to outdoor dinners returning in the Spring.

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.
