With the Fourth Annual Pinot Days Festival in town later this week (June 25 - 29), there's no shortage of events to check out. In fact, there's an almost overwhelming number of tastings, vendors, and parties crammed into this five-day extravaganza. Here's two to check out:
Isa Restaurant (3324 Steiner at Lombard) Winemakers Table Hop Dinner. Chef Luke Sung whips up French small plates combining the flavors of Provence and Californian cuisine. No word on the specific menu, but I do know that six Pinots will be poured before dinner starts, with another eight on the way. Check out the wine list here. Thursday, June 26, 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. $150 per person.
Jack Falstaff (598 Second St. at Brannan) Winemakers Table Hop Dinner. Chef Jonnatan Leiva is known for his modern American cuisine, farmer's market fresh ingredients, and balanced flavors. Again, no word on the specific menu but the wine list is available for perusing. Same set-up: 14 wines to be poured. Thursday, June 26, 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. $150 per person.
