Gala Wine Dinner Celebrating 10 years of Inside Wine S.B. (IWSB)

Join Inside Wine Santa Barbara (IWSB) for their 10th anniversary celebration at Pico Los Alamos on November 19th. The farm-fresh dinner will be prepared by Pico’s Chef Cameron Ingle who learned his craft from many of the best chefs in the United States, including Thomas Keller. His cuisine will be paired with Lumen and other wines, including selections from Pico Los Alamos’ library wines.

This gala dinner is for anyone who is interested in learning more about winemaking, food and wine pairing and what makes Santa Barbara County a very special terroir for growing wine grapes and produce. IWSB is a not-for-profit Meetup wine tasting group that has grown to over 1,700 members and organized almost 90 wine events featuring noted winemakers from Santa Barbara County, Napa and Santa Cruz. It is open to anyone 21+.

Chef Cameron of Pico Los Alamos resume includes Thomas Keller’s  Bouchon Bistro, Bestia and Bavel in Los Angeles, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York. Pico Los Alamos is owned by Will Henry and wife Kali Kopley. Will Henry is also the owner and co-winemaker at LUMEN with winemaking legend Lane Tanner. Will worked for his father’s distribution company, The Henry Wine Group, before joining Lane Tanner in 2012 at LUMEN.

Inside Wine SB has members in Los Angeles and Ventura as well as the local area and the dinner is early, at 3 pm, to accommodate travel to Los Alamos.  The Meetup group has organized wine tastings with iconic winemakers like Randall Graham, Brian Babcock, Fred Brander, Richard Sanford and more as well as organizing wine seminars with Master Sommeliers Richard Betts, Brian McClintic, and Eric Railsback.
