Duckhorn 5-Couse Wine Dinner w/Matt Huntsberger & Chef Erin Sealy @ The Grapevine in Lake Arrowhead

Thursday, May 23rd 2019, 6:00pm

Please join us for our seasonal return, featuring Duckhorn Wines!

Please join Chef Erin Sealy at her Lake Arrowhead location, The Grapevine, for an exceptional evening of wines from acclaimed Duckhorn. We'll be pouring 5 fantastic wines, each award-winning and focusing on a different aspect of the Duckhorn brand. Matt Huntsberger will be joining us to pour these exceptional wines and chat about the rich history of the winery. Chef Erin will be crafting a 5-course pairing menu to complement each wine. Expect a fantastic evening on wine, cuisine and insights from Matt and Erin. Seating for this event is limited, please register using the link below!

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.
