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.

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.
