Humans,
I was in my bear cave working on our next Bear’s Night In menu when Osito came busting through the door. He was the most excited I’ve seen him all quarantine. Apparently, he had spent the day brainstorming ways that we could be ‘together’ but ‘apart’ with our Cow By Bear family – he’s always been quite the sentimental cub.
Of the dozens of ideas Osito had come up with, he was most passionate about hosting a virtual Wine by Bear. Since our days living on a vineyard in Sicily, Osito has always had a keen interest in wine (and quite a refined palate, I might add). So, the two of us journeyed through the depths of our expansive underground wine cellar and selected three of our most exquisite. We had a ball that evening reminiscing about our visits to each of the vineyards as we put together tasting notes on our selections.
For those who have been to our in-person experiences, you know that we work exclusively with boutique wine producers to source unique, small-batch, grower-producer wine from around the world. The selections we made for this virtual Wine By Bear are not to be missed.
These wines are begging to be enjoyed alongside expertly paired cheese selections, so we arranged for that as well.
Osito is head over heels ecstatic to clink glasses and break bread (virtually, of course) with our human family again. He even volunteered to hand-deliver this experience personally to your doors.
Our virtual Wine By Bear experience will be held this Saturday, May 9 from 6:00 - 7:15pm. Osito will join all of you as we’re guided through tasting each of the wines (and optional cheeses) by our expert sommelier, Kaitlin Brooks. We’ve also got some tricks up our sleeve to create space for you humans to hang out and connect with each other virtually throughout the tasting.
On Saturday, you may choose to pick up your wine and cheese between 4:00 - 5:00pm in Little Italy, or Osito will be delivering to any San Diego address between 11:00am - 3:00pm.
As they say in Italy, amici e vini sono meglio vecchi – old wine and friends improve with age. We can’t wait to indulge in both this Saturday.
Cheers,
Chef Bear
