SD Food & Wine Event

The annual Food & Wine event in SD takes over the marina and seaport village area, showcasing many of the local restaurants and wineries from Sonoma, Paso Robles, Napa and Temecula. Foodies, purveyors and wine aficionados from the area came by on this gorgeous sunny day to taste and drink to their hearts content.

Romesco, a baja med bistro located in Bonita was showcasing some fabulous colors and flavors. Corn tortilla wrapped carnitas with marinaded red onions, shreds of papaya, guacamole and a slice of jalapeno..

Blue Point was serving some supersized crab claws. Sustainable harvest, apparently only one claw is taken. Hearty and great with the garlic aoili, but a bit challenging to eat while on the go.

Sea Rocket was rocking with the baja shrimp, pipette containing tomato enhanced juice, topped with a candied basil and thai basil foam. Inside the plastic holder was a butternut chowder.. delicious, but an environmental disaster..

Buster's beach house was sporting a healthy sizes ahi poke, layered with seawood and avocado

Masala prepared a vegetarian biryani. Spicy and flavorful.

Peruvian specialties were prepared by Secret Cafe. Ceviche prepared in several ways, clam and tomato, spicy mahi and scallops

brisket and potatoes... how can you go wrong?

beef cheek... in a semi sweet glace..

With several hundred options to choose from and wines to equally match, tasting is definitely a fun adventure to enjoy with your local foodie friends.
