Don't miss our seasonal return to North County Wine Co in San Marcos!
Please join us for our next event of the 2023 dinner season at North County Wine Company in San Marcos. For our June dinner, we'll feature fantastic wines from Sierra Foothills favorite, Bella Grace Winery! We have a wonderful evening planned featuring some fantastic summer-ready wines from this family-owned and operated 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, two(!) very different zinfandels. The evening will feature 5 wine selections, each paired with a dinner course. 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!
Please note, this will be an outdoor event, a light sweater or jacket is recommended.
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.
