SUMMARY:Wine & Dine Weekend in Paso Robles
DESCRIPTION:The ESB Founders are leading guests on a one of a kind wine experience in Paso!\nFrom Friday\, February 8th to Sunday\, February 10th\, a small group of ESB members will visit 7 top-rated wineries in Paso Robles. Several of these wineries\, including “members only” wineries like Law\, Denner\, Torrin\, and L’Aventure\, are planning special cellar\, library\, or estate tastings specifically for our members. \nThe registration fee for this excursion includes all wine tastings\, Friday and Saturday night dinner (wine included)\, Saturday lunch\, full transportation for Saturday’s events\, and Sunday Brunch. Guests are responsible for travel to and from Paso\, their accommodations\, and Saturday breakfast. ESB has acquired discount rates for two recommended hotels in the area. Throughout this excursion ESB Team will provide water & snacks\, and will assist in the transport and care of all members’ wine purchases.\nThe afternoon will start on Friday 1:00pm\, with a private tasting at Denner Vineyards at their exquisite tasting room and beautiful views. The original 96-acres of vineyards were designed and planted by John Crossland of Beckstoffer fame; and most recently the 2015 Ditch Digger and 2015 Dirt Worshipper were both awarded 95 points by Robert Parker. Following Denner will be Tablas Creek Vineyard\, where Jason Haas\, son of Tablas Creek Vineyard founder and renowned importer Robert Haas\, will lead guests through a private Estate tasting and brief tour of the barrel room.Friday and Saturday night dinners have been arranged for the group and all wine and food are included in the registration fee. Rather than prix fixe\, the menus have been designed to allow guests to order multiple courses\, share dishes\, and customize their meal based on their diets and personal tastes; (in the true Epicurean fashion). ESB will also bring some special wines to share with guests at both dinners\, and guests’ transportation has been arranged to and from their hotels.\nOn Saturday\, guests have the option of purchasing breakfast at their respective hotels\, or neighborhood restaurants. At 9:30 am all guests will be picked up for a day of tasting. The first stop is Law Estate Wines\, and their visually spectacular tasting room overlooking the 100% estate grown Law Family Vineyard. Assistant Winemaker Phillip Pfunder\, is personally designing “a memorable tasting experience” for the group. Following Law is L’Aventure\, where Chloe Asseo\, Winemaker Stephan Asseo’s daughter\, has also arranged for a cellar walk-through and special library pour. Following the tasting\, members will have a family style lunch comprised of artisan charcuterie\, cheeses\, and antipasti\, to enjoy with L’Aventure’s wines courtesy ESB. With bellies satiated and palettes inspirited\, we will finish the day with a private tasting with Winemaker Orion Stang of Dilecta\, whose interior facade features incredible post-modern artwork by his mother. Orion’s experience working under Eric Jensen of Booker\, and his culinary training makes him one of our favorite under-the-radar winemakers of the region. Following Dilecta\, we’re planning to sneak in a special visit to Jacob Toft Wines\, time permitting!On Sunday morning\, guests will pack up and meet at Thomas Hill Organics for brunch. (And what’s brunch without a little Rosé or Sparkling Wine?). After brunch will be the final winery of the weekend: Torrin Wines. Guests will taste through Viquel and Scott Hawley’s Lagom and highly sought after Torrin Wines in their brand new state-of-the-art tasting room\, looking over the Willow Creek District.The tasting at Torrin concludes the trip! Guests can opt to drive back to Santa Barbara or stay in town to visit one or more wineries.

SUMMARY:Champagnes\, Cremants and Raclette
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate February 14th with two essential Valentine’s day traditions: Champagne and Oooey Gooey\, Cheese…\n No\, Not Fondue\, but Raclette!…Ah\, two of Europe’s Greatest imports tangled together for a ESB Valentine’s day Rendezvous…How lovely….and delicious.\nStart the evening off with a tasting of boutique Champagnes and cremants\, hand-selected by ESB founders and board members (all available for purchase). The sparkling wines are from highly rated purveyors from the Champagne region\, with many producers who are certified from the European Union as Organic or Biodynamic. In addition they represent of wide range of styles and price points. These small batch champagnes are all elegant and approachable\, yet each have distinguishing flavors and mouthfeel based on their grape varietals and winemaking techniques. \nCremants/Champagnes include:\nChâteau de Brézé – NV Cremant de Loire\, Blanc ($24)\nThierry Richoux – NV Cremant de Bourgogne ($35)\nRemi Leroy – NV Champagne\, Brut Rose ($68)\nGratiot-Pillière – NV Champagne\, Brut Tradition ($37)\nVincent Charlot – 2011 Champagne\, L’Or des Basses Ronces ($98)\n\nAt some point in the evening\, proceed towards the Raclette….\nRacelette is a Swiss cheese known just as much for its nutty\, full sweet \, and ridiculously creamy flavor as it is for its visual appeal. A half wheel of this cow’s milk cheese is placed in a Raclette Melter\, where a heat source melts the top of cheese into a bubbly\, oozy\, and crusted layer. \n \nLong ago Swiss laborers placed their cheese close to the fire until the cheese started to melt. Closely imitating this is the heating unit in a Raclette Melter.\nGuests will build a plate from a variety of vegetables\, breads\, meats\, cornichons\, and fruit. Once the cheese is ready\, it is then scraped off with a knife\, and cascaded over the accompaniments. ESB will have its own “Racletteur” present from C’est Cheese to serve guests a creamy scrape of cheese over their plates. \nThis event is an educational tasting\, a communal\, social dining experience\, and an indulgent and fun way to celebrate Valentine’s day.

SUMMARY:Yunnan Cuisine Dinner with Georgia Freedman
DESCRIPTION:Food Writer and Cookbook Author Georgia Freedman is leading ESB members on a unique culinary and cultural tour by preparing recipes from her newest cookbook: Cooking South of the Clouds—Recipes and Stories from China’s Yunnan Province. \nAs the Managing Editor for the award-winning food magazine Saveur\, Georgia and her husband lived in the Yunnan Province of Southwestern China\, where she studied the food cultures of the dozens of minority groups that populate that unique corner of the world. After traveling extensively through the Yunnan Province\, learning about the cuisine that has influences from Burma\, Myanmar\, Vietnam and Thailand\, Georgia collected recipes and stories that she has compiled into this cookbook. \nLearn about Yunnan cuisine and the culture\, and enjoy a two-course family style dinner\, featuring a variety of hot and cold dishes from the cookbook. Georgia will share her stories & cooking tips with the members\, and is offering a discount on the Cookbook when purchased with the event. \nDishes will include:\n1st Course (cold dishes)\nCold Rice with Beef\nGhost Chicken\nCucumber with Peanuts\nMulti-Colored Sticky Rice\n2nd Course (hot dishes)\nSteam Pot Chicken Soup\nStewed Beef with Sour Bamboo and Mint\nShao Kao Style Stuffed Eggplant\nStir-Fried Okra and Pressed Tofu\nStir-Fried Mushrooms with Sichuan Peppercorn Oil\nSteamed Rice…and more. \nBYOB (Bring Your Own Beverage)\nYunnan is the other China\, the place where the culture of the Han majority gives way to the traditions and histories of the country’s minorities. The province is the most diverse part of China culturally\, biologically\, and meteorologically. \nIt is a region of delicious foods. The area’s biodiversity and the many cultures thriving in this tiny bit of the world have come together to create a wide variety of food traditions. In addition to its amazing wealth of mushrooms\, the region is famous for its hams\, which rival those of Italy; its pickled vegetables\, which are especially popular in the province’s central regions; its many kinds of edible flowers\, which are cooked in soups and stir-fries; and its spicy chiles and Sichuan peppercorns. The province offers a seemingly endless array of things to eat\, and people from all over China travel there to enjoy its marvelous foods. In a food-obsessed country\, Yunnan is the food destination everyone wants to visit. \nCookbook Excerpt \nHowever\, there is really no such thing as “Yunnan food.” The province is so diverse that it contains a number of distinct styles\, each a reflection of a particular area’s natural resources and the cultural practices of the people who live there. In the tropical areas in the south\, grilled foods are common\, and most dishes are flavored with fresh herbs and searingly spicy chiles. Grilled foods and raw vegetable salads are also popular to the west\, along Yunnan’s border with Myanmar\, but the dishes there also reflect the influences of cross-border trade\, and many foods resemble Burmese dishes. In the east\, where Yunnan borders the provinces of Guizhou and Guangxi\, the food is milder and includes ingredients more commonly found in southern China\, while up north\, on the edge of the Tibetan plateau\, you’ll find hearty cold-weather foods as well as traditional Tibetan dishes like yak-filled momos. And in central Yunnan\, cooks combine these styles with flavors popular in nearby Sichuan\, adding lots of pickled vegetables\, dried chiles\, and Sichuan peppercorns to the mix. \nJoin us for a unique\, educational\, and interactive evening!

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Matthias Pippig of Sanguis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Matthias Pippig of Sanguis Wines!\nKickstarting our 2019 Winemaker Evening series is Matthias Pippig\, owner and winemaker at Sanguis Wines\, Santa Barbara. Sanguis is a premier boutique winery that specializes in an eclectic Rhône and Bordeaux style blends. Pippig changes blends yearly in his wines\, hand sorts each wine and never makes the same wine twice. Many of his wines weigh in at over 15% alcohol\, but they do not present as highly alcoholic. These wines are sourced from some of the best vineyards in the Santa Barbara and Central Coast area.Most recently the 2015 “Bossman” earned Sanguis 97 pts from Jeb Dunnuck!  \nLatin for blood\, Sanguis was founded by the German-born Matthias Pippig. Pippig has previously worked as a wine importer for Marc DeGrazia Selections\, and Estate Wines\, winemaker at Grassini Family Vineyards\, as well as a stint at the famous Le Brea Bakery. A food-industry marketing consultant by training\, Pippig’s operation is quite similar to that of his motorcycle-riding buddy and former La Brea Bakery boss Manfred Krankl\, the celebrated cult winemaker of Sine Qua Non. If you haven’t had the chance to try his wines\, you are in for a serious treat. What many do not know is that Matthias is a skillful chef in his own right. At his own Winemaker Evening\, Matthias will not only be featured as Winemaker\, but also as Chef\, as he is collaborating with ESB to create his ideal food pairings for his wines. \n\nSuperstar winemaker\, Mattias Pippig\, crafts some stunning wines out of Santa Barbara County. – Washington Wine Blog \n\n\nWines for the evening:\n2015 See Through ($50 retail)\n2015 Verve – 95 pts – ($80 retail)\n2015 The Modern – 95 pts – ($80 retail)\n2015 Bossman – 97 pts – ($80 retail) \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\nIn 2004\, when Jamie and I decided to start Sanguis\, there was just the two of us\, and a shared vision for making wines that aim to capture nature’s beauty through our sense of aesthetics. Today\, we are fortunate to share this vision with our motley but tight crew working with us in the vineyards and the most beautifully functional converted warehouse in Santa Barbara’s industrial zone and with the many enthusiastic supporters who have joined our club and mailing list since then.  Learn more about Sanguis Wines! \n\n  \nWine of extraordinary character\, complexity\, and balance is a product of place\, time\, and the people who engage in the process of growing and making it\, their discipline and willingness to take risks and improvise. When you play a wrong note\, it is the next note that makes it good or bad.\n—Miles Davis \nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!
