The Desmond on the Roof Winemaker Dinner featuring Justin Vineyards pairs limited-release and exclusive wines with five courses of seasonal cuisine masterfully prepared by Chef Aldo Negrete. Held on our 4th floor rooftop, this event features vintages from Justin Vineyards and Special Guest Speaker Master Sommelier Joseph Spellman. In 1996, Joseph became the 29th American to earn the highly-acclaimed Master Sommelier Diploma and is the only American to have earned the honor "Best Sommelier in the World in French Wines and Spirits". He has since become a certified instructor and examiner in the Court of Master Sommeliers and has traveled to numerous countries, leading wine seminars and educational conferences. 1ST COURSE Gravlax Kampachi, house crème fraîche smoked salmon roe, fresh dill, rye croutons, dill oil Paired with 2022 Justin Rosé 2ND COURSE Roasted Baby Carrots, carrot top pesto, carrot juice yogurt, herbs pickled carrot, crispy quinoa Paired with 2022 Justin Chardonnay 3RD COURSE Wood-Roasted Octopus, salsa macha, roasted romanesco cauliflower jimmy nardello black garlic romesco, marcona almond, chive Paired with 2022 Justin Pinot Noir 4TH COURSE Whole Spit-Roasted Bone-In Pork Loin, roasted stone fruit, crispy pork belly charred shishito peppers, nuoc cham vinaigrette, thai basil Paired with 2019 Justin Isosceles DESSERT Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, citrus yogurt sorbet, wildflower honey glaze Paired with 2020 Justin Savant Visit: https://thedesmondsandiego.com/ The Desmond on Instagram and Facebook
