For this event series, I'll be collaborating with chefs and sommeliers that I have cooked with in the past or that I've worked closely with. We'll be featuring 7 courses of Filipino-inspired dishes using seasonal and locally sourced (when possible) ingredients. Some of the unique flavors of Filipino cuisine will be highlighted in this meal. For this dinner, I have worked closely with Carlos to curate a menu to go along with the wine pairings for each course. Please see below for our menu. We hope to see you at our dinner! Carlos Lorenzo is a wine professional and currently working with pop-ups around the East Bay. He attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York to pursue a career in the culinary field as a cook/chef then later transitioned to focus his work and studies in the hospitality and wine business. During his time in New York, he staged -- an unpaid internship -- in the kitchens of Daniel, Le Bernardin, Prune, and EMP, to name a few. Before Carlos worked with us, he was a Cellar Manager and part of the team that set up Verve Wine in San Francisco. There, he worked alongside Eric Railsback and Master Sommelier Dustin Wilson wherein he honed his skills and knowledge with the wine business. Furthermore, he is studying for his certifications under the Court of Master Sommeliers. Note: You are more than welcome to bring your own wine, as well, to drink as you please. Thank you! *If any special access is needed, please contact us in advance at (510) 755-5055 or [email protected].
