Don't miss our next winemaker dinner at our La Mesa/Lake Murray location!

We are very excited to announce our next winemaker dinner series, including an evening at our La Mesa/Lake Murray location, Brew Coffee! For our July Winemaker Dinner Series we're thrilled to share a fantastic line up of 5 micro-production wines from boutique winery, Thidibo. Co- Owners and Winemaker Josh and Gibsey Beckett will be joining us for each evening. Josh has an old school approach to grow­ing and mak­ing wine with a new school atti­tude. He’s been in the wine indus­try his entire life but con­tin­ues to learn and grow, col­lab­o­rate with his peers and try new things in the vine­yard and in the win­ery. As a kid, Josh grew up at Peachy Canyon Win­ery with his fam­i­ly, founders Doug and Nan­cy Beck­ett. After years discovering his own way of making wine, first in Australia, then returning to Paso. Josh, alongside his broth­er, Jake, created a name for himself as co-owner and winemaker of edgy, boundary-pushing brand, Chron­ic Cel­lars. Chron­ic was an out­let for Josh to exper­i­ment with uncon­ven­tion­al blends, small lots of fruit and new age wine­mak­ing tech­niques. After sell­ing Chron­ic Cel­lars to WX Brands, Josh and his wife/co-owner, Gibsey devel­oped and plant­ed Thibido vine­yard in 2018 and 2019. This vine­yard is the cul­mi­na­tion of Josh’s expe­ri­ence, plant­ed with sev­er­al vari­etals, root­stocks and trel­lis­ing styles in order to max­i­mize the qual­i­ty of the fruit and min­i­mize the need for over­ly inva­sive winemaking. To showcase these wines, Chef Erin has created an elevated, seasonal pairing menu. You won't want to miss this memorable evening of wine, food and conversation! 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.
