The Estancia hotel, located in La Jolla, is a gorgeous and exclusive place nestled in between UCSD, Scripps, the Salk Institute and the new Craig Venter Institute. The grounds are meticulously maintained, inviting landscapes and southern California charm, events at Estancia are always well done.
This particular event was Scripps 50th Gala night. Celebrating 50 years of scientific research with 6 nobel laureates and over 270 investigators unraveling the mechanisms of disease and life processes. The pre-dinner reception presented trays of salmon covered lemon crostini, seared shrimp topped baguette crisps with scallions and risotto bars with tomato soup dipping trays.
A common them for decorations, was utilizing the glassware and beaker sets for the flower arrangements. A whimsical yet aesthetically pleasing option for the event:
The salad was a julian apple salad, presented with both red and green apples, candied walnuts, a creamed brie wrapped in a thin filo crust, and a robust apple ginger vinaigrette.:
The main entree was a surf and turf variation. A petite filet in a zinfandel glace and chorizo emulsion, a sea bass oven baked with broccoli and a butternut squash and parsnip risotto:
The dessert was a pear tarte tatin with cinnamon ice cream.. a fantastic combination
