Don't miss an exciting FOUR-evening dinner series, featuring a new and exciting Sta. Rita Hills winery, The Set!

We are very excited to announce our next wine dinner at our NEWEST location, Nutmeg Cafe in Sabre Springs (Poway)! For our August Wine Dinner Series we're thrilled to share a fantastic line up of wines from boutique, Santa Rita Hills based winery, The Set. We have a fantastic line-up of newly released, elegant wines planned, each which will be presented by Direct of Sales & Marketing and CSW, Dan Vogel. Since it is very likely that this is the first you've heard of the winery, we'll share some insights into the name and philosophy. What is The Set? It’s the set of wines thoughtfully crafted for every table, the vineyard setting that inspires the work, and the fruit set that marks the beginning of every great vintage. It's also a nod to a passion for music—drum sets, set lists, and the belief that wine, like music, is an art form that sets the tone for unforgettable moments. The label draws inspiration from sound waves and wavelengths from various instruments, symbolizing the distinct character of the wine in each bottle. You can expect a very fun evening of wine and food conversation from both Dan and Chef Erin. Seating is limited for this series, please see below for reservations. For details on 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.
