SUMMARY:SLYD Winery Winemaker Dinner at El Rincon Criollo\, Culver City
DESCRIPTION:El Rincon Criollo & Gourmet Wine Getaways\nProudly present \nA GOURMET WINEMAKER DINNER \nFeaturing the wines of \nSLYD Winery\nSanta Barbara County\, California\nHost: Peter D. Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways Wine Consultant\nSpecial Guest: Owner/Winemaker Spencer Daley \nWednesday\, December 11\, 2019 at 7:00 PM\n$65 per person\, plus tax and gratuity \nOwner/Winemaker Spencer Daley got a relatively early start in the wine business at the age of 13. He and his father literally were garagistes- starting with a couple of rows of grapes in their backyard and making wine 4 years later in their garage from those home-grown Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes. Fast forward to 2015 where\, at age 25\, Spencer is premiering four of his own wines from Santa Barbara County grapes using those same fundamentals he learned from his dad 12 years ago. The name SLYD comes from Spencer’s love of music and is continued in the naming of each of his wines. The connection in his mind is obvious- wine\, like music\, reflects the artist who created it. And\, enjoyment of both is highly influenced by mood and surroundings. Luckily\, El\nRincon’s owner Jason and his culinary team have “composed” the perfect food courses to pair with these four wonderful wines. Join Spencer & Peter as they discuss the Central Coast wine region\, the latest from the winery & Spencer’s take on the world of music. Come celebrate the holiday season with us. We might even get a guitar serenade from Spencer at the end of the meal! \nMENU \nPina Colada Shrimp: Sauteed shrimp in a rum\, coconut & pineapple sauce\n2017 SLYD does Sauvignon Blanc \nShredded Chicken ala Fidel\n2016 Sangiovese \nRoasted Lamb Chop served alongside Saffron Risotto\n2015 Trio (Syrah/Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon blend)-It sings! \nBraised short rib over Sweet Potato puree\n2016 “The Show” Syrah (big dog in the kennel) \nChef’s Selection of a Sweet Ending \nFreshly brewed Coffee or Tea \nPrepaid reservations are essential\, as seating is limited. Cancellations will only be accepted up to 48 hours in advance. No Open Table reservations \nReservations: 310-397-9295\nEl Rincon Criollo\, 4361 Sepulveda Blvd.\, Culver City\, CA 90230 \nGourmet Wine Getaways (GWG) strongly encourages guests to utilize Lyft\, Uber & other safe methods of transport in getting to and from wine events.

SUMMARY:Duckhorn Vineyards featured at Kapoor's Akbar in DTLA
DESCRIPTION:Duckhorn’s history spans over 40 years.  You might call owner Dan Duckhorn one of the Napa pioneers\, not because he was the first winery (he lost that race by over 100 years!)\, but rather due to the fact that he was among the first to focus on the production of world-class  Napa Valley Merlot-a mere stepchild to the Cabs that Napa was already famous for.  Dan was convinced it could be done and put his passion and energy into his first harvest (1978).  The rest\, shall we say\, is history. In fact\, he was dubbed “Mr. Merlot” by the NY Times-something he is very proud of.  Duckhorn wines are now made under the guidance of Winemaker Renee Ary.  She is only the 4th winemaker in the winery’s 40+ year history.  Tonight\, a Prosecco Welcome Reception will be followed by a       4-course meal\, pairing the gourmet Indian cuisine of owner/chef Avinash Kapoor with 4 outstanding Duckhorn wines (including a Merlot).  This is a rare opportunity to enjoy these highly rated & sought after wines\, so grab some friends and join us for the first wine dinner at this exciting new venue in DTLA.  Gourmet Wine Getaways’ Peter Kerr will discuss & explore these wine & food pairings. \nWelcome Reception\nA refreshing Bubbly to cleanse your palate and knock off the road dust\n\nMenu\nCrispy Samosa pastries stuffed with potatoes\, peas & spices\n2017 Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc (WS-90)\nChef Avi’s Fresh White Fish with Seasonal Veggies\n2016 Duckhorn Chardonnay\, Napa Valley\nShahi Lamb \nSlow-cooked marinated lamb in a cashew & tomato cream sauce \n2014 Duckhorn Merlot\, Napa Valley (WS-92)\nBeef Dopiazza\n             Chunks of tender beef\, onions(double onions)\, & garlic in a delicious sauce seasoned with cardamoms\, cloves & pepper                       Special Basmati Rice \n2015 Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon  (WE-90) \nfreshly brewed coffee/tea\nPrepaid reservations are essential as seating is limited.  Cancellations will only be accepted up to 48 hours in advance. \nReservations: (213) 372-5590\nKapoor’s Akbar\, http://www.kapoorsakbar.com \n \n  \n   \n  \nGourmet Wine Getaways (GWG) strongly encourages guests to utilize Lyft\, Uber & other safe methods of transport in getting to and from wine events.

He is one of the original “Rhone Rangers” and has been making world-class wine for the past 35 years.   Bob founded Qupé in ’82 while working with Jim Clendenen at Zaca Mesa Winery.  He left Zaca Mesa the following year to dedicate his full time and energy to his new winery.  And the rest\, as they say\, is history.  Qupé has been selected as a Winery of the Year by Wine & Spirits Magazine for each of the last 19 years- an amazing achievement! \nTonight\, Bob will be on hand to give us the “inside scoop” from the winery and perhaps talk a little Dodger baseball (his other passion).  We’ll enjoy 2 of his outstanding Syrahs plus 2 other great wines that reveal the breadth of Bob’s talents.  Chef Brendan Collins and the culinary team at Wilshire have creatively paired each wine with a gourmet food course designed to bring out the best in the wine (and the food).  Join us for what is sure to be a night to remember! \nTray Passed Hors D’Oeuvres\nGrilled Oysters (smoked hay\,chartreuse butter)\nGoat Cheese Tart (Chantenay carrot\, maple\,pistachio)\n2016 Qupe Chardonnay\, Santa Barbara County\nMenu\nTwo Tartares\nBeets\, mustard greens\,granola \nBeef\, egg yolk\, labneh\, lavash \n2013 Qupe Roussanne\, Bien Nacido Hillside Estate\nHerb-crusted Halibut\nDuxelles\, shallot puree\, jus lie \n2015 Qupe Syrah\, Central Coast\nRoasted Duck Breast\nGolden Beets\, grilled plums\, long pepper jus \n2013 Qupe Syrah\, Bien Nacido Hillside Estate\nStone fruit tart\nCreme fraiche ice cream \nfreshly brewed coffee/tea \nPrepaid reservations are essential as seating is limited.  Cancellations will only be accepted up to 48 hours in advance. \nReservations: (310) 586-1707\nWilshire Restaurant\, www.wilshirerestaurant.com  \n \n  \n   \n  \nGourmet Wine Getaways (GWG) strongly encourages guests to utilize Lyft\, Uber & other safe methods of transport in getting to and from wine events.

SUMMARY:SLYD Winery Winemaker Dinner at Tivoli Cafe-Pacific Palisades
DESCRIPTION:Tivoli Cafe & Gourmet Wine Getaways\nProudly present \nA GOURMET WINE TASTING DINNER \nFeaturing the wines of \nSLYD Winery\nSanta Barbara County\, California\nHost: Peter D. Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways Wine Consultant\nSpecial Guest: Owner/Winemaker Spencer Daley \nTuesday\, October 24\, 2017 at 7:00 PM\n$89 per person\, inclusive of tax and gratuity \nOwner/Winemaker Spencer Daley got a relatively early start in the wine business at the age of 13. He and his father literally were garagistes- starting with a couple of rows of grapes in their backyard and making wine 4 years later in their garage from those home-grown Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes. Fast forward to 2015 where\, at age 25\, Spencer is premiering four of his own wines from Santa Barbara County grapes using those same fundamentals he learned from his dad 12 years ago. The name SLYD comes from Spencer’s love of music and is continued in the naming of each of his wines. The connection in his mind is obvious- wine\, like music\, reflects the artist who created it. And\, enjoyment of both is highly influenced by mood and surroundings. Luckily\, the Tivoli culinary team has “composed” the perfect food courses to pair with these four wonderful wines. Join Spencer & Gourmet Wine Getaways’ wine expert Peter Kerr as they discuss the Central Coast wine region\, the latest from the winery & Spencer’s take on the world of music. Who knows- we might just hear Spencer play a little on his guitar if the mood and surroundings are right (which they will be)! \nWelcome Reception\nTomato\, Burrata and Prosciutto\n2016 Medley Rosé  \nMENU\nMahi-Mahi on a bed of fresh spinach\, topped with lemon-butter & caper sauce\n2016 “SLYD does Sauvignon Blanc” \nPenne al Ragu with organic ground beef sauce\n2015 Trio (Syrah\, Sangiovese\, Cabernet Sauvignon blend) \nPizza carne e ricotta \n(Italian sausage\, pepperoni\, sun-dried tomatoes and ricotta)\n2014 “The Show” Syrah\, Thompson Vineyard  \nA Sweet Ending-Italian Style \nFreshly brewed Coffee or Tea \nPrepaid reservations are essential\, as seating is limited.

(Sci-fi/UFO buffs are no doubt familiar with Area 51 in Nevada). Well\, Martin and his consulting winemakers(including his brother Michael of Kalyra/Buttonwood fame) decided it was time to “throw away the old wine blending book “ and make some creative blends that break most if not all the rules- blending different regional varietals\, different vintages\, and different flavor components. The result is nothing short of unique and borders on the fantastic! \nAt this dinner\, we will showcase five “out of this world” wines from our featured winery. So\, if you are intrigued or just plain curious\, join us for what is sure to be a night of fascinating pairings\, lively Q & A and just a down-right good time.

SUMMARY:Lumen Wines Wine Tasting Dinner at Sam's by the Beach - Santa Monica
DESCRIPTION:Sam’s by the Beach & Gourmet Wine Getaways\nPresent \nA WINEMAKER DINNER \nFeaturing \nLumen Wines\nSanta Barbara County\, California\nHost: Peter D. Kerr\, The Wine Consultant\nSpecial Guests: Lane Tanner\, Winemaker; Will Henry\, Owner \nWednesday\, May 17\, 2017 at 7:00 PM\n$89 per person\, inclusive of tax and gratuity \nThe name Lane Tanner is synonymous with Santa Barbara County and great Pinot Noir (along with other varietals as well). She has been making outstanding wine in the region for 30+ years (she started when she was only 5!). As the first female winemaker in the Central Coast\, she worked at Firestone Winery\, Hitching Post Winery and had her own label from 1989 until just a few years ago. Lumen represents a new partnership for Lane and an opportunity to continue her love of making great wine. According to Lane\, “Lumen is an ode to the old-world style of winemaking with grapes picked at phenolic ripeness instead of high sugars\, resulting in wines lower in alcohol”. \nTonight\, Lane & Lumen owner Will Henry will be on hand to give us the “inside scoop” from Lumen. We’ll enjoy 2 of Lumen’s outstanding Pinot Noirs plus 3 other great wines that reveal the breadth of Lane’s talents. The culinary team at Sam’s has creatively paired each wine with a gourmet food course designed to bring out the best in the wine (and the food). Join us for what is sure to be a night to remember! \nHORS D’OEUVRES\nGrilled Swordfish Belly with Fresh Plum dressing\nAged Cheddar Cheese with fresh berries\nBaked Date wrapped with Serrano Spanish Ham\n2016 Lumen Pinot Gris\, Santa Barbara County \nMENU\nGrilled Mediterranean Octopus with wild arugula & fennel\n(Topped with green apple & honeydew dressing)\n2014 Lumen Chardonnay\, Sierra Madre Vineyard \nBraised Silkie Chicken Osso Buco-style with Couscous\n2014 Lumen Pinot Noir\, Santa Barbara County \nGrilled Lamb Kebob served with Mint Sauce & Roasted Potatoes\n2014 Lumen Pinot Noir\, Sierra Madre Vineyard \nCaramelized Crabapple\, lightly salted dark chocolate sauce\n2015 Grenache\, Santa Barbara County \nFreshly brewed Coffee or Tea \nPrepaid reservations are essential\, as seating is limited.
