San Marcos: European Wines 5-Course Wine Dinner w/Kevin Walsh + Chef Erin Sealy: Sat. 6/11

An intimate wine dinner featuring an exceptional line up from Spain, Italy and France!

We're very excited to announce our seasonal return to North County Wine Company in San Marcos! For our second dinner back, we'll be featuring a fantastic line up of wines from Europe, showcasing all the countries you'd expect, Italy, Spain and France. Sample varietals you'd expect, but also a couple of lesser known wines to expand your horizons. Kevin Walsh will be joining us from the distributor to discuss each with and share insights on the different regions and varietals.  Chef Erin has crafted a regional pairing for each wine. 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.
