After plenty of deliberation, the Bistro has chosen the menu for the June 17th celebration of Solstice and the winery’s new releases. The dinner will take place on a Tuesday evening at 7:00pm. Part of the proceeds for the dinner will go towards Santa Barbara’s Summer Solstice Celebration. In a similar manner to the very successful Earth Day pairing dinner that the Bistro recently put on, Executive Chef Josh Keating and Santa Barbara Winery Assistant Winemakers Ryan Ralston and Cameron Bendetsen will speak about the food and wine combinations between each course. All of the wines that will be served have very recently been released. I got a little sampling of what will be served and I can’t wait for the real deal.
