SUMMARY:Bien Nacido Vineyard Tour & Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Take a journey to Santa Maria with ESB members and learn about the famous Bien Nacido Vineyard.\nWant an excursion for Memorial Day Weekend?  Here’s an idea… Imagine wandering through a blossoming vineyard in the warmth of an early summer afternoon with a winemaker and master sommelier as your guides.  As you take in the glorious rolls of vineyard hills\, sip the wines as you walk through the block from which the grapes were grown. Then finish the afternoon with a seated winemaker dinner and artisan chef. \nSound good?  We think so too!  But it gets better… \nThis tasting will take place at the famous Bien Nacido Vineyard.  \nBien Nacido in the Santa Maria Valley is as famous as the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Napa. The grapes find their way into a large number of the great wines of California\, including Herman Story\, Torrin\, Lagom\, Jacob Toft\, Sanguis\, Au Bon Climat\, Ken Brown\, Foxen\, Tyler\, Twomey and many more… \nBien Nacido and Solomon Hills are the only family owned wineries in the Central Coast of California to employ a Master Sommelier as well. \nOn this tour\, Master Sommelier Will Costello and Winemaker Trey Fletcher would lead a tour the Bien Nacido Vineyard through the different blocks\, educating guests about the vineyard\, fruit\, farming\, winemaking\, ect. With each block guests will taste the corresponding wine from Bien Nacido and Solomon Hills. The tour will be followed by a winemaker dinner prepared by Chef P.A. Trembley\, and library wines tasted during the event. Chef P.A. will be creating a scrumptious multi-course family-style meal. The group will be dining al fresco in Bien Nacido’s beautiful picnic area. It will be fun\, social\, and delicious culmination to this very special day. Transportation and lodging not included. Optional group transportation and lodging available\, see below*. \nWinemaker Dinner\nMenu\nParmesan\, Gruyere Pull Apart Bread\, Chive Butter\nAsparagus & Spinach Puree\, Roasted Garlic Custard\, Lardons\nDuck Duo\nSous Vide & Seared Duck Breast\, Roasted Mushroom & Duck Sausage Spring Roll\, Grilled Broccolini\, Frisee\, Apple Gelee\, Duck Demi\nTriple Chocolate Torte\, Raspberry Puree\nThe Bien Nacido vineyard is one of the crown jewels of the California wine world. Located in Santa Maria Valley\, approximately 30 miles north of the town of Los Olivos (where Miles yelled to Jack “I’m not drinking any f’n Merlot!”). Bien Nacido is the source of some of the top grapes of Santa Barabara County. \n\nThe vineyard was planted in 1973.\nBob and Steve called it Bien Nacido\,\nmeaning well born in Spanish\,\nbecause of the passion and commitment\nthey shared in bringing it to life.\n\nVineyard Accolades\nTop Grand Cru Vineyards in California ~ Wine Enthusiast\nTop Five California Vineyards ~ Wall Street Journal\nVineyard of the Year ~ California State Fair\nTop 25 Vineyards in the World ~ Wine & Spirits\nCalifornia’s Best Single Vineyards ~ Wine Enthusiast\nTop 10 California Vineyards to Watch ~ Sacramento Bee\nTop 5 Vineyards You Can Trust ~ Pinot Report\nTen Best Vineyards ~ Food & Wine\nTop 12 Legendary California Vineyards ~ Wine News\nGM & Winemaker\nTREY FLETCHER \nTrey joined Bien Nacido Estates in 2011 as Winemaker and General Manager.

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.

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.

(And what’s brunch without a little Rosé or Sparkling Wine?). After brunch will be the final winery of the weekend: Torrin Wines.
