SUMMARY:Tercero Wines Winemaker Dinner at Orto
DESCRIPTION:Orto Santa Monica & Gourmet Wine Getaways\nProudly present \nA GOURMET WINEMAKER DINNER \nFeaturing the wines of \nTercero Wines\nLos Olivos\, California\nHost: Peter D. Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways’ Wine Consultant\nSpecial Guest: Larry Schaffer\, Owner/Winemaker \nThursday\, June 4\, 2026 at 7:00 PM\n$110 per person\, plus tax and gratuity \nLarry Schaffer started the new millennium with a major career change; from the music industry & publishing to the winemaking world. After completing his Masters in Viticulture at UC Davis\, he relocated to the Santa Ynez Valley in 2005 and joined the winemaking team at Fess Parker Winery and Epiphany Cellars. Tercero Wines was born the following year but was merely a sidelight for the initial 5 years. In 2011\, Larry dove full-time into Tercero and to use his favorite phrase\, ‘the best was yet to come’. Tonight\, we will enjoy four of his outstanding wines including two 10-year-old reds\, perfectly paired with a gourmet meal created by Orto’s culinary team. Tercero’s wines are all small production and therefore\, see limited retail exposure. Take this opportunity to discover this outstanding\, boutique winery from Santa Barbara County and purchase some to share with friends. Gourmet Wine Getaways’ wine expert Peter Kerr will join Larry to discuss the wines\, the pairings and answer your wine-related questions. Please come\, learn and enjoy!\nPicture credit- Tercero Wines \nMENU \nCrudite of Fresh Veggies\n2018 Tercero Verbiage Blanc (Rhone blend)  \nSmoked Salmon Crostini\, mascarpone\, chives\, lemon zest\n2023 Tercero Picpoul Blanc  \nMezzi rigatoni\, Gorgonzola cheese\, walnuts\n2016 Tercero Mourvedre \nBlack Angus Filet Mignon\, balsamic reduction\, Farmers Market veggies\n2016 Tercero Syrah\, Thompson Vineyard\, Alisos Canyon AVA \nFreshly brewed Coffee or Tea \nAdvance\, guaranteed reservations required via the Open Table App. Click on RESERVATIONS button below to book.
