SUMMARY:Sea Smoke Winery and Vineyard Wine Tasting Dinner at Akbar-MdR
DESCRIPTION:Akbar-MdR\, fresh off their spectacular 50th Anniversary celebration\, is planning a wonderful Wine Tasting Dinner featuring the amazing wines of Sea Smoke Winery & Vineyard (Santa Rita Hills).  Sea Smoke was founded in 1999\, purchasing highly sought-after acreage in the Santa Rita Hills that had long been coveted by local winemakers and growers. The name Sea Smoke derives from what the locals call the marine fog that envelops the area almost every evening\, allowing the land to cool and the vines to rest. Sea Smoke produces only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and since their first vintage in 2001\, the winery has established itself as one of the best in the region and has consistently produced excellent wines over the last 25 years. Tonight\, you’ll enjoy 2 great Chardonnays and 2 great Pinot Noirs perfectly paired with Chef Avi’s delicious gourmet Indian cuisine. These highly demanded\, hard to find wines will also be available for ordering at special “Tonight only” prices. Share this info with your wine-loving friends and then call to book your spots at what is sure to be a Saturday night to remember. \n$129 pp plus tax and gratuity \nWelcome Reception- a refreshing bubbly to begin  \nMENU  \nAmritsari Prawn: Shrimp prepared in a unique blend of spices from the Armistar region of India\n2024 Sea Smoke Botella Chardonnay\, Santa Rita Hills \n Fish Vindaloo: Chef Avi’s famous fish presentation in a tangy Goan tomato sauce\n2023 Sea Smoke Estate Chardonnay\, Sea Smoke Vineyard \nTandoori Duck Breast: a duck like no other\, marinated in cherries & Indian Spices\n2024 Sea Smoke Botella Pinot Noir\, Santa Rita Hills\n2023 Sea Smoke ‘Southing’ Pinot Noir\, Sea Smoke Vineyard \nA Sweet Ending prepared by Pastry Chef Nicole \nPhoto Credit: Sea Smoke Winery and Vineyards

Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways \nSaturday\, October 3\, 2026; 2-4 PM\n$60 per person\, plus tax and gratuity \nWine dinners are great but we decided to offer a different option for your consideration. Rather than make you fight weeknight traffic\, let’s gather on a lovely\, fall Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours. And\, unlike the wine dinners with formal wine/food pairings\, we’ll give you the option to taste (and retaste) 4 lovely wines from Italy as we enjoy a variety of Cuban-inspired appetizers from Owner/Chef Jason (pictured above)and his culinary team. \nNo need to worry about being late and missing a course-this will be a no stress event. Arrive at 2pm\, 2:15 or whenever you can- all the wines and appetizers will be available throughout the afternoon. Gourmet Wine Getaways’ wine expert Peter Kerr will be on-hand to discuss the wines\, talk about wine/food pairing and learn from you what you thought the best “unofficial pairings” were! \nAll the wines will be available for purchase at very attractive prices should you desire to add them to your collection. Attendance is limited so book early to ensure your spaces. Bring some friends along or come alone and make some new wine-loving buddies.  Reservations:  310-391-4478.  See you there!\nNote- Beach-goers in beach attire are welcome. Please brush the sand off your feet/sandals before entering. \nPicture credit: Gourmet Wine Getaways \nGourmet Wine Getaways (GWG) strongly encourages guests to utilize Lyft\, Uber & other safe methods of transport in getting to and from wine events.

SUMMARY:Silver Oak Winery Wine Tasting Dinner at Akbar\, Marina del Rey
DESCRIPTION:Two friends shook hands on an idea that started in a dairy barn in Oakville\, CA in 1972. That idea has endured the test of time\, producing outstanding\, highly sought after wines for over 50 years. Two sons of original co-owner Ray Duncan took the reins in 2001 and never skipped a beat. Cabernet Sauvignon was their original\, exclusive interest and remains the focal point of what and who they are even though they have branched out a bit. Their Cabs are cellared in 100% American oak from their own cooperage in Missouri to add to their uniqueness. Silver Oak’s mantra says it best\, “Some bottles mark a moment- our help make one!”\nTonight\, we’ll have the pleasure of enjoying four Silver Oak wines paired with the gourmet cuisine of Owner/Chef Avinash Kapoor. We’ll finish the evening with a double pairing of their excellent Cabs but don’t sell the first two pairings short because they will be top-shelf as well (did someone say PNO?!). Each of the wines tasted will be available for ordering at special “Tonight only” prices. Join us to make it a Saturday night you will long remember. Space is very limited so reserve early! \n$130 pp plus tax and gratuity \nWelcome Reception- a refreshing bubbly to begin  \nMENU  \nShrimp Chat (shrimp in a crispy puri with Akbar’s special chutneys\n2025 Silver Oak Sauvignon Blanc (premier vintage!; J.S.-94 pts.) \n Baked Salmon with cauliflower and carrots sabzi\n2023 Twomey Pinot Noir\, Russian River Valley\, Sonoma (J.S.-93 pts.) \nAkbar’s Famous Lamb Chops with Malai Kofta in Shahi Sauce\n2021 silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon\, Alexander Valley (Decanter-96 pts.)\n2021 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon\, Napa Valley (Decanter-98 pts.; J.S.-97 Pts.) \nA Sweet Ending \nPhoto Credit: silver Oak Winery
