A Summer Evening in Burgundy!
Join us for an enchanting evening as we explore the grace and complexity of Burgundy wines, paired with 5-courses of French–inspired cuisine showcasing the peak of Santa Barbara’s summer produce. This intimate dinner will be guided by Mike Miller (previously of Golden State Wines), whose passion and knowledge will illuminate each pour.
We begin, as every celebratory meal should, with bubbles — a refreshing glass of Crémant de Limoux Brut ‘Cuvée Prestige’ from Maison Colin, hailing from the Limoux region of southern France, known for crafting méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines with brightness and finesse. From there, we journey north to Burgundy, with wines that express the unique terroirs of its famed subregions — from the chalky slopes of Chablis to the mineral-laced whites of the Mâconnais, and the elegant reds of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.
Epicurean Santa Barbara Chef Amy Baer and her team with pair the selection of wines with an individually plated 5-Course French-inspired dinner. The menu showcases Santa Barbara’s peak summer produce —from fresh seafood and vibrant salads to a rustic summer-inspired cassoulet and artisan cheeses imported from Murray’s cheese in NYC. And of course, a decadent chocolate finale complete the experience.
