June 30 - Margarite’s Amazing BYOM Event!

Margarite says:

“Friends, Food, Fun, Frivolity…Together served with magnums of great wine”.

Keeping the tradition in grand style in 2023 with the (17th) annual Bring Your Own Magnum (of your yummiest wine) Party, Sunday, June 30th,  2:00 P.M. – 5:00 P.M. at “Solare Ristorante in Point Loma at Liberty Station”. Red, white, Rosé or Sparkling, it’s all good!

You may want to dine at Solare Ristorante when magnums go dry. For anyone interested in dinner reservations following the event, should make a Reservation asap here – click here; the full Solare menu is available, and there will be no corkage fee for anyone staying for dinner.

In addition, to enhance our celebration at BYOM, we thought it would be nice to share with those less fortunate, especially as these have been challenging economic times for many.

 Thank you, and best wishes!

<a id="Solare-Pasta-Cooking-Class"></a>Cooking Class: Fresh Pasta from Scratch and Ravioli

June 29 - Cooking Class: Fresh Pasta from Scratch and Ravioli

 

Solare’s pasta is made fresh every day – in our kitchen. This is an opportunity to see exactly how Executive Chef Denice Grande makes that happen! She will teach you all the right techniques to enable you to make the best “pasta fresca” and perfect ravioli and more.  This is a hands-on pasta making class where you will learn the classic dough techniques and so much more.

The lesson is held in our kitchen and is “hands-on” and not a mere cooking “demonstration”.  The fun starts at 10:30am at Solare with an Italian-style coffee of your choice. Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”.  Important: Please wear closed toe shoes.  Class size is small and intimate and limited to approximately 10 students.  $95++/student that includes the class, wine, and lunch. It’s fun!  Reserve today.

Italian Wine Dinner ~ An Evening in Tuscany … with a side trip to Umbria.

Yes, we have Alessandro Boga in San Diego for one day on Wednesday, June 19 – RSVP today.

All the items on the menu and the wines are exactly what you’d experience in Tuscany and Umbria.

Over the evening, Alessadro is leading a fun “deep dive” of Tuscan wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico Riserva, and Super Tuscans. 

For example, we are pouring the 2015 vintage of the “Val di Suga” Estate Brunello. Very special.  

I also added a wine from a great winery in nearby Umbria: 100% sagrantino from Arnaldo Caprai. Yay! 

All dishes by Exec Chef Denice Grande are traditional to Tuscany and Umbria.

Wine Dinner Details:

  • June 19, Wednesday
  • 6:30pm Reception and 6:45pm Dinner
  • $96 includes the 4-course pairing dinner by Exec Chef Denice Grande and 5 select wines
