SUMMARY:ESB "TRUST" Dinner: Chef Justin Werner 2022
DESCRIPTION:ESB “TRUST” Dinner: Chef Justin Werner\n\nWe are excited to announce the return of ESB’s First TRUST Dinner guest chef\, Chef Justin Werner\, now the Executive Chef at TRUST in Santa Ana\, CA. \nOriginally from New York Justin cut his teeth in some of Manhattan’s top tier restaurants. He spent half a decade working at Craft for Tom Colicchio where he gained a passion for quality produce and forging relationships with farmers. This lead him to spend a few years at Thomas Keller’s Per Se before moving on to Corton\, where he maintained two Michelin stars as a Sous Chef for Paul Liebrandt. After winning the hit TV show Chopped\, he used his winnings to invest in himself and left for Copenhagen. It was here that he interned at Noma while it held the title of “Best Restaurant In The World”. Upon returning to the US\, Justin made a cross country move to Orange County. After serving as chef at Playground DTSA\, (the only OC restaurant to make Jonathan Gold’s Top 101 Restaurants in Los Angeles list in 2017!)\, he eventually moved on to the executive chef position at Porch and Swing. A lover of travel\, Justin draws inspiration from his time spent around the world to create a very special dining experience for his guests. \nJustin Werner is now the Executive Chef of Trust in Santa Anna. Much like ESB’s Trust dinners\, the restaurant is an 18-seat culinary theater featuring an omakase-style tasting menu with beverage pairings with varying themes and menus based on Chef Justin’s culinary inspirations. \nThe Cuisine….\nThis experience will be a multi-course dinner\, with shared plates featuring Chef Justin’s diverse cuisine with classic\, modern and international influences. Expect to see a variety of fresh locally sourced produce\, as well seafood\, pasta\, and red meat\, and inventive textures and generous use of spices\, sauces and rich\, but balanced flavors. His cuisine is both creative and approachable\, and always satisfying. \nCharismatic as he is talented\, Chef Justin is a witty personality whose sense of humor and insight into the culinary world will make this experience not only delicious\, but also very entertaining!    \nWhat is a “Trust” Dinner?\nA trust dinner is an upscale multi-course meal (5+ Courses)\, where guests put their trust into the Chef\, who will be preparing a one of a kind dinner revealed upon arrival! Why no menu in advance? Because: #1.) we like to surprise our guests\, and #2.) we want to remove any pre-conceived notions regarding what the dishes will taste like\, or look like. This is part of the experience\, and part of the fun. \nWhat we can tell you is that the food will be fantastic. We are featuring only chefs who have inspired us\, who have shown great passion and remarkable skill and pedigree; chefs who have a distinctive culinary voice. Their biographies and the event description will provide sufficient details about the dinner; (for example: Mediterranean\, Modern\, or Vegetable-driven). The team at Epicurean Santa Barbara will know the menu in advance\, so we can notify the chef of dietary restrictions\, and answer any questions regarding the dinner. \nThe first Trust dinner is BYOB. You heard us right! In the event reminder\, we will offer wine pairing suggestions for the dinner\, and you are welcome to bring whatever bottles (or spirits) you see fit! \nAs these are specialized menus\, modifications are politely declined. But please include any serious food allergies in your registration notes. \n\nThis event will be held outdoors at a private residence.\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Bottle Tour of G2 Vineyard with Bill Gibbs!
DESCRIPTION:G2 Vineyard Bottle Tasting with Bill Gibbs!\n…with special guest Don Burns\nJoin us as we taste through the celebrated G2 Vineyard\, 1 winery at a time\, in a rare\, “once a lifetime” tasting hosted by the ESB team and Bill Gibbs himself. No vineyard on the Central Coast has produced more 100 point wines than G2\, so you won’t want to miss this! \nThe G2 experience centers around a line-up of 11 incredible bottles which feature only G2 Vineyard’s coveted fruit. Producers include Andremily\, Saxum\, Turtle Rock\, Jacob Toft\, Pec & Burl\, Levo\, Dilecta and Ledge. Keith Robinson\, Jeremy Allen and Bill Gibbs have raided their personal cellars and come up with 11 different G2 wines using different varietals across various vintages made by winemakers at the pinnacle of Paso and those winemakers eager to reach that mark. \nThe tasting will be broken down into 3 tasting segments along with a bounty of appetizers\, cheese\, charcuterie and bites: \nReception: Ledge G2 Grenache Blanc\n1) A curated tasting of 4 fantastic G2 wines by outstanding winemakers\n2) A 3-year vertical of Turtle Rock G2 w/special guest winemaker Don Burns\n3) A unicorn side by side of Saxum\, Andremily and the 100-point Turtle Rock\nGreat fruit plus a great winemaker produces a great wine…Average fruit plus a great winemaker can only produce average wine. The moral of the story is that\, even in the age of the celebrity winemaker\, the source of the grapes\, i.e. the vineyard\, is critical. A select few winemakers own their own estates and farm their own fruit. But the vast majority need to buy their fruit from land-owning farmers. Even those with their own estates supplement their fruit supply from the independent grape growers. In Napa\, the Beckstoffer To-Kalon vineyard is legendary. In Santa Barbara County\, the Bien Nacido vineyard is widely regarded as the best (and back in 2019\, 25 ESB members were lucky enough to have a personal tour and tasting of that vineyard!). In Paso Robles\, undoubtedly\, the top vineyard is the G2 Vineyard\, 88 acres of prime West Side Paso. G2 is owned and farmed by Bill Gibbs pursuing a second career after he built a software company in the first. He is both a genial guy and a genius. Why is it called G2? Well it’s complicated; the “G” is for Gibbs and it’s his second vineyard. (The fruit from his first vineyard goes exclusively to Justin Smith at Saxum!) In 2019 two G2 wines scored 100 points and a 3rd wine also got that highest rating and it comprised almost half G2 fruit. G2 is fast becoming a legend!
