September 01 - A Dinner & Evening with Madeira at Solare
This is a very exclusive and special Wine Dinner and Evening at Solare. Madeira! Very limited seating ~ around one community table with Mr. Jake Parrot.
Are you ready to go on a guided tour of the mythic but oft misunderstood wines of Madeira? We have teamed up with Jake Parrott of Haus Alpenz to put on a palate exploding tasting experience. Jake has an engrossing and captivating passion for the history and modern development of all things liquid and delicious, and Madeira is one of his favorites.
Combining the rooted Italian flavors of Solare Ristorante and the extraordinary Madeira wines of Henriques & Henriques, this bacchanal will open your eyes to the versatility of this storied elixir as a true accompaniment to the foods of the world. H&H is the only grower/producer in the denomination. This is a great opportunity to experience the full depth of madeira, from a company with a history dating to mid 1800’s.
Dinner at 6:45pm and Reception with Jake Parrott at 6:15pm. $98/person includes 5 Madeira wines and the 4-course dinner. Reserve today via email or call 619-270-9670

I am delighted to announce that we just confirmed that Thomas Cuni from the legendary Barolo winery, Damilano Estate, is back in the US and at Solare to lead a very special Wine Dinner.
Damilano Estate was founded over 100 years ago in 1890, and is absolutely one of the top names in Barolo. They are one of the very few producers of Barolo from the Cannubi Cru. 
We will be drinking some of the best Barolo and Piemonte wines on the planet – with a Solare 4-course pairing menu.
And guess what?? Thomas sent us a 5 liter bottle of 2013 Damilano Barolo from the Cannubi cru. Wow!! As you may know – Cannubi is considered the top Cru in all of Barolo. Click here to see the huge 5 liter bottle.
Thomas has been to Solare before – and he is amazing!
