Local Wineries 4-Course Winemaker Dinner w/Ramona Ranch, Casi Cielo & Chef Erin Sealy @ Apollonia Bistro

 Friday, May 11th, 2018 7pm

Join us for an evening featuring two of San Diego's Local Winemakers!

We're very excited to announce our next Pop Up Dinner at our UTC location, Apollonia Bistro with Chef Erin Sealy! Did you know there are some fantastic wines, right in your backyard!? We'll be featuring two wineries, Ramona Ranch of Ramona and Casi Cielo of Jamul to give you a great local wine experience. Each winery will be presenting 2 wines, and both will have winemakers joining us for what will most definitely be a memorable night! Chef Erin Sealy will be preparing a 4-course menu, which will highlight the uniqueness of each wine. Expect a great night of wine, paired courses, and wonderful 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 & educational insights! Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
