August 05 - Solare Wine Dinner – An Evening in Barolo with Damilano Estate
.
Solare Wine Dinner – “An Evening in Barolo” Friday, August 5. 
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!
Wine Dinner Details:
• Friday August 5
• 6:30pm Reception and 6:45pm Dinner
• Limited seating – RSVP today.
• $98 includes the 4-course pairing dinner and 5 select Damilano Estate Wines
• Includes: Their 2013 Cannubi Barolo from a 5 liter bottle
• Request indoors or outdoors on our heated patios

Thomas will let us know firsthand what is happening right now in Barolo and Piemonte – and from what I learned at Vinitaly the ‘19’s are tasting delicious. Thomas is very engaging and fun.
RSVP by calling 619-270-9670 or send us an email.
Hope to see you here!

June 29 - Odd Bins ~ Wine Carnival!
Odd Bins ~ Wine Carnival! 
Do you love wine? We do!
We buy a lot (understatement) of great wines from all across Italy and all along the west coast of North America. We just did an inventory of our wine cellar — and we have lots of wine where we have just one or two bottles left. With just one or two bottles, we really can’t place them on our wine list – so now is the time to finish them off. And we need your help!
So today we will be opening many-many bottles and offering a fun, build your own wine tasting experience at bargain prices.
Here’s how it works: From opening to closing there will be a “walking” wine tour available in the lounge and bar area. We will have a large selection of wines available in tasting pours. Some of the pours are just $3! We also have a couple surprise “high-end” wines that we decided to include to spice things up!
You’ll have a lot of fun! If you like wine – you can’t miss this. ~~ Contact us for more details at 619-270-9670 or info@solarelounge.com or just stop in! 😊
