Wine dinners, epic social at its best!
For decades, San Diego has several restaurants that have risen to star power nationally and worldwide. Among those at the top, Nine-Ten, George’s, The Marine Room, and two other standouts, A.R. Valentien, and WineSellar & Brasserie.
The latter two held special event dinners… The starter WineSellar & Brasserie, which served up magic truffle infused dinner, sold out way in advance. And the American Institute of Wine and Food held a stellar 40th anniversary dinner at A.R. Valentien.
Some longtime La Jollans would remember many of the founding members including Dave Copley, Kathryn Colachis, Maurice and Charmaine Kaplan, Andrew and Mary Kay, Veryl Mortenson, George and Piret Munger, William and Elizabeth Zongker, Carolyn Yorston, and the be everywhere Thornton’s… that’s Sally and John of Thornton Winery.
From wine we go to beer and cheer… Super Bowl a coming… Go Brady!
