We are very excited to announce our next pop-up wine dinner at our Pacific Beach location, Drift Cafe! For our November dinner, we're very excited to announce a fantastic line up of wines from a wide variety of regions. Chef Erin will present an eclectic variety of selections from various wine regions, featuring "New World" wines (Paso Robles, Santa Barbara and Napa) and "Old World" wines (Bordeaux and Montalcino). This dinner will focus on the differences between wines from these exceptional regions Each wine will be paired with its own seasonally themed dinner course. Chef Erin will also walk attendees through a dynamic conversation of wine, food, terroir and winery highlights. Expect a wonderful evening of wine, food and insights. 


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.
