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 6 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 he currently works as a Fine Wine Acquisition Specialist for Benchmark Wine Group. 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 industry and wine business. In his past time, he loves hosting friends and family — following his motto, « LITTY TT! ». This pop-up is an introduction to Filipino flavors and wine pairings. Note: You are more than welcome to bring your own wine, as well, to drink as you please. Thank you!
