7 - 2022 WIne aficionado dinner - "Trust The Flame!"
The 2022 Wine Aficionado Dinner will be an extraordinary Bishop’s event for the record books!
10 lucky couples will be treated to a wine and culinary experience of a lifetime! Each year the Gala Wine Auction Committee endeavors to create an unmatchable event, and this year’s theme “Trust the Flame!” promises to soar to new levels featuring phenom chef Brad Wise, owner and executive chef of the Trust Restaurant Group. Specializing in open-flame cooking, Brad has opened some of San Diego’s most popular and acclaimed new restaurants, including Trust and Fort Oak. Brad was featured in San Diego Magazine’s Best Restaurants 2021 issue last September for his neighborhood steakhouse Rare Society; he recently expanded with the opening of The Wise Ox Butcher and Cardellino. The Wine Aficionado dinner scheduled for Friday, August 26, 2022 will include tastings of more than 20 different, perfectly-aged, world-class wines paired with Chef Brad’s personally designed and prepared menu. 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 assistance that provides resources to families who could not otherwise afford a Bishop’s educational experience and participate fully. Two seats at the dinner will be sold to the first 10 couples. Value: A Robert Parker Dream Donors: Chef Brad Wise - Trust Restaurant Group |
