2021 Wine Aficionado Dinner
"¡Dos Californianos - OTRA VEZ!"
|
$7,500 per couple | 10 spots will be sold (each spot is for 2 people)
As you know, during this past year due to the COVID-19 crisis events were postponed, public gatherings were strictly limited, and venues were changed. The 2020 Bishop's Wine Aficionado Dinner with celebrity chef Javier Plascencia was among those signature events that was affected by the pandemic. Fortunately, as our community reopens, we have now rescheduled the 2020 Wine Aficionado Dinner and as part of the 2021 Bishop's Auction, are offering spaces for up to 10 additional couples to attend. Now scheduled for Saturday, November 13, 2021, 10 lucky couples can join the 10 couples who purchased their seats at the 2020 auction, and all 20 couples will be treated to the wine and culinary experience of a lifetime! Inspired by the iconic cuisine of Baja, California, this year's Wine Aficionado Dinner offers an unmatched wine and culinary experience that reflects the creative essence of the revolutionary cross-border cuisine Baja Med. At "¡Dos Californianos - Otra Vez!", you will enjoy more than 20 different, perfectly aged, world-class wines paired with an exquisite gourmet menu created and personally prepared by award-winning Chef Javier Plascencia of Misión 19, Finca Altozano, and Jazamango. During the meal, you will blind-taste some of the greatest and rarest wines of Baja California against those of our "Norte" California regions, offering a unique opportunity to learn more about what our Southern Baja friends have to offer. |
Hosted in Cecilia and Santiago Aguerre's stunning La Jolla home, Casa de las Magnolias, you will be transported throughout the evening by the idyllic setting. Featuring Andalusian design, the home includes many antique architectural installations, such as wooden floors built from discarded Argentinian wine barrels. Faithful to the early twentieth century, the home combines historical perspective with a light modern touch.
Ask anyone who has attended a Bishop's Wine Aficionado dinner in the past few years and they will tell you it is hands-down the single best wine dinner of the year in San Diego, and possibly the country! Moreover, it is a delightful evening out with other Bishop's couples and a key "fun-raiser" supporting financial aid for current and future deserving students who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend this amazing School.
Two seats at the dinner will be sold to the first 10 couples - the price is $7,500 per couple. You can purchase your seats through the Text2Bid app, starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 7. But you need to have registered for the 2021 Virtual Auction to get a bid number!
