Please join us for the return of Clay Mauritson & Mauritson/Rockpile Wines!
We're very excited to announce our next Pop-Up Dinner with Chef Erin Sealy! We'll be featuring wines from Sonoma's Mauritson Winery. These Sonoma/Rockpile wines are sure to impress with their superb quality and terroir prowess. We'll be featuring some classic Rockpile wines, including 2 single vineyard zinfandels! Winemaker and Owner, Clay Mauritson will be joining us from the winery to present these family crafted wines and share the rich family history. Clay is a presenter you won't want to miss, eloquently bridging the gap between the science and romance of winemaking. This will be a wonderful night of wine and food that you won't want to miss!
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 & educational insights! Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
Chef Erin will be working with Clay for two nights, Monday at The Riviera Supper Club in La Mesa and Tuesday at La Costa Wine Co. in Carlsbad. To Register for the 5/8 Dinner in La Mesa, please continue below. To register for the 5/9 Dinner in Carlsbad, please click HERE.
