THE JUSTIN WINE DINNER WITH JUSTIN BALDWIN AT WINE VAULT & BISTRO
The Justin Wine Dinner with Justin Baldwin at Wine Vault & Bistro was a great evening. Guests were treated to a six course meal paired with different Justin and Landmark Wines. The food and wine were paired perfectly and really complemented each other.
Justin Baldwin from Justin Winery was there to discuss the wines, answer questions, and provide entertaining information about the wines and the wine business. Justin is recognized as a pioneer of award winning Bordeaux style wines on the California Coast. In 1981, Justin Baldwin founded Justin Vineyards in Paso Robles. When he started there were a handful of wineries in Paso Robles. Now there are over 400!
The Wine Vault & Bistro is a San Diego restaurant that is only open for dinners Thursdays-Saturdays, but hosts special Winemaker Dinners or other special events on Sundays and Mondays. The menu at Wine Vault & Bistro changes daily and always has special courses and wines paired with each course. All wines paired at any dinner are available for purchase and take home that evening.
Our favorite food and wine pairings were the Braised Pork Shank paired with the Justin Cabernet Sauvignon, the Pressed Lamb Shoulder paired with the Justin Justification, and the Melted Beemster Aged Gouda on Toasted Ciabatta paired with the Justin Isosceles. The Justin Isosceles wine is named for three classic varietals that make up the blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. The Isosceles continues to be the flagship wine of Justin Vineyards.
We really enjoyed the Justin Wine Dinner with Justin Baldwin at Wine Vault & Bistro and bought several bottles of the Isosceles to enjoy again at home. We look forward to returning to the Wine Vault & Bistro soon for another special Winemaker Dinner.
Cheers!
