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 COURSEGravlax Kampachi, house crème fraîchesmoked salmon roe, fresh dill, rye croutons, dill oilPaired with 2022 Justin Rosé2ND COURSERoasted Baby Carrots, carrot top pesto, carrot juice yogurt, herbspickled carrot, crispy quinoaPaired with 2022 Justin Chardonnay3RD COURSEWood-Roasted Octopus, salsa macha, roasted romanesco cauliflowerjimmy nardello black garlic romesco, marcona almond, chivePaired with 2022 Justin Pinot Noir4TH COURSEWhole Spit-Roasted Bone-In Pork Loin, roasted stone fruit, crispy pork bellycharred shishito peppers, nuoc cham vinaigrette, thai basilPaired with 2019 Justin IsoscelesDESSERTStrawberry Rhubarb Crisp, citrus yogurt sorbet, wildflower honey glazePaired with 2020 Justin SavantVisit: https://thedesmondsandiego.com/The Desmond on Instagram and Facebook
