As I previously mentioned, Santa Barbara’s SpiritLand Bistro hosts a Wednesday Wine and Dine Social on the last Wednesday of each month. Each dinner has a speaker that is an expert on the night’s designated varietal (either a winemaker, a distributor, etc.). October 6, our assistant winemaker Ryan will be representing Lafond Winery and Santa Barbara Winery and speaking about Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir.
This will actually be held on a Monday night because there is such a huge crowd in town interested in attending an SRH Pinot dinner that they will be holding two (one at the end of September). I received the menu (which we will likely get a paper copy of in the winery if you’re interested in taking another look), and it screams for pinot to pair with it.
First Course: Assorted Gourmet Cheeses (chosen to go with the wines)
Second Course: -Rustic wild mushroom tart
Third Course: -Salmon with balsamic & red wine reduction, potato gratin, & vegetable medley
Fourth Course: -Mixed berry crumble
The mixed berry crumble will likely be paired with a dessert wine that is TBA. $45 includes tax and tip for four-course organic meal. Bring a bottle to share that matches the theme - no corkage fee! If you are interested, or if you have any questions at all about the event, call Spiritland Bistro at 805-966-7799.
