Meet the wineries of the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival. Today… @aperturecellars and @lacacciavino 🍷 Aperture Cellars was founded by world-famous photographer Andy Katz (his photos are everywhere, but pop for pop culture fun, also on the cover of albums by the Doobie Brothers and Dan Fogelberg). His son Jesse is now the winemaker. “In 14 short years these wines have taken on a mythic status—rare creatures sought after by collectors and hedonists,” says DMWF Beverage Director @tedglennon YOU GOTTA TRY: 2022 Aperture Barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc 🍷 La Caccia comes from “a Tuscan estate untouched for 1,200 years,” Glennon says. “The wines are now produced under the eye of Napa superstar Marc Gagnon, and they possess great potential for cellar aging.” Their goal is to express their sites uniquely and purely to produce an authentic, organic wine reflective of the incredible surrounding land. YOU GOTTA TRY: 2019 toscana Rosso Join us for the party of the year this September in Del Mar. Tickets are available at the link in bio. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
Meet the wineries of the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival. Next up… @cobbwines If you know pinots, you know Ross Cobb. In 1985, Ross and his parents, David and Diane, traveled the coasts looking for the dream spot to plant grapes. They found it in Sonoma County, named it Coastlands, and set down fruit in 1989. Their wines are minimal interference, letting the land do the talking in their wines. In the cellar, they just let nature do its thing. By choosing the perfect pinot for each spot and letting the terroir come through Cobb wines genuinely represent the Sonoma Coast. It’s not easy to make a name for yourself with pinots in Sonoma. But 22 vintages later, Cobb has 120 placements in Bay Area restaurants. YOU GOTTA TRY: Coastlands Vineyards Pinot Noir Join us for the party of the year this September in Del Mar. Tickets available at the link in bio! #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
You've gotta taste these badass wines from our man— Ted Glennon. Del Mar Wine + Food Festival’s Beverage Director. Ted is one of the country’s top wine minds. He’s also an inveterate punk and now DJ (@djsoigne). Years ago he got his first big gig in San Diego as the sommelier for Hotel Del, then helped develop some of California’s most revered wine programs (including three-star Michelin Quince, and the iconic Post Ranch Inn). The once-mighty Pebble Beach Food & Wine tapped Ted to be their wine director, and he created something special there for four years. Never a slouch, he also started making his own. His winery Vinos Finos de California (Ted’s a sixth-gen Californian) produces Vöcal Vineyards' single site reserve wines from the Santa Cruz mountains and Monterey Bay—including pinots and cabernets, a reserve chardonnay Lasai, and a fresh chillable red wine called Sabroso! (made with a lesser-known Bordeaux grape, cabernet pfeffer). Ted had sworn off festival life, but when we called our old friend who taught us about wines years ago, our friendship and his love for San Diego pulled him back in. He spent the first decade of his wine career helping build up San Diego’s scene, and now he’s back. We’re incredibly stoked to have him along, helping curate rare and cult wines for the fest. YOU GOTTA TRY: Sabroso! We’re bringing the Crème de la crème of San Diego’s food & drink scene to the Polo Fields September 6 - 11. Join us by grabbing your tickets at the link in bio. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
Meet the restaurants of the Grand Tasting, taking place September 9-10. Today, we’re talking about Cowboy Star, Restaurant and Butcher Shop helmed by Chef Victor Jimenez. Best. Darn. Steak. Ever. Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop is located in San Diego’s East Village and it’s all about the meats. We suggest you sink your teeth into the cattleman’s cut ribeye with its perfectly Frenched rib bone. Or, indulge in the Hokkaido Wagyu New York steak, flown in from Japan, aged 23 days, and served alongside a saffron poached honey onion. Beyond the menu, @cowboystarsd also holds the title as winner of the Orchid Award for Interior Design. We’re talking exposed beams, cowboy accents, a full-service butcher shop and classic landscape photography that make it THE spot to grab a seat to witness the front row action of their display kitchen. Not just about the meat, Cowboy Star gives back to San Diego by sourcing from local farmers, fishers and producers to ensure their flavors are that of the neighborhood. Cowboy Star will be at our Grand Tasting event on Saturday, September 9. Get your tickets at the link in bio. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
Have you heard? Chef @chefbwise, owner of the TRUST Restaurant Group in San Diego and @chmontelena, the Napa Valley Winery that beat the French, crushing the belief that France had a lock on fine wine are teaming up to present a curated, four-course dinner menu and wine tasting as a part of this year’s Del Mar Wine & Food Festival. Here’s a breakdown of what ticket holders have to look forward to: TO START: The Seafood Royale.

MAIN EVENT: The American Wagyu NY Strip. Obviously. Served with potato aligote, embered shishito relish, pickled asparagus, and black truffle bearnaise, this dish will be savored alongside your choice of the Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet 2018 or the Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet 2006. LAST: Dessert. Saving room for dessert is a must. Why? Lava Cake. Malted chocolate cheesecake, vanilla bean ice cream, and chocolate ganache is to be paired with Chateau Montelena Zinfandel 2019.

Meet the wineries of the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival. Today… @calerawine 🍷 The late Josh Jensen was a wine legend, and Calera Winery is his legacy. Famed wine critic Robert Parker wasn’t shy about his accolades: “Calera is one of the most compelling pinot noir specialists of not only the new world, but of planet earth." Josh’s dream was to make Burgundy-style pinots in the remote mountains of Central California and, man, was he successful. He now has ten vineyards that rest 2,200 feet above sea level, and is one of the original producers of aligote (Burgundy’s “other” white grape, the alternative to chardonnay). YOU GOTTA TRY: Calera Pinot Noir (also, per DMWFF beverage director @tedglennon, “he’s most known for his pinot noirs, but his chardonnays are fantastic”) Join Calera on the Polo Fields this September by clicking the link in bio. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
It isn’t good to keep things bottled up. We agree. So do the folks at Just Enough Wines who are bringing consciously crafted pours to you… in a can! The case for canned wines: Just Enough… One can = 1.5 glasses of wine, for when one is not enough and two is too many Take it To-Go… Remember the days you could drink on San Diego beaches? Less Waste… it hurts to pour the last ¼ of a bottle down the drain, just stop, please. Female-founded, based in California, @justenoughwines sources their grapes from premium, sustainable vineyards and their packaging materials from environmentally friendly sources. Our favorites: Brut Bubbles and Rosé. 🍇 Come see and sip Just Enough Wines at this year’s Del Mar Wine + Food Festival. Head to the link in bio for more information and to secure your tickets to the party of the year. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
JUST ANNOUNCED: VALLE When they opened in 2021, chef Roberto Alcocer said his goal was to bring a Michelin star to Oceanside. Last night, Valle got it. Incredibly honored to have San Diego’s first Michelin-star Mexican restaurant at the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival. Roberto knows Michelin kitchens. The Ensenada-born chef trained in La Broche in Madrid and Mexico City’s Pujol. When he was ready to open a place of his own, he came home and created Malva Cocina in Valle de Guadalupe—Mexico’s premier wine region in Baja, California, just 90 minutes south of the San Diego border. Malva has been raved about since it opened in 2014. And with Valle he brought that Baja magic to north county San Diego. Menu adjusts to what grows the best. Baja traditions, modernized. Dinner there is either a four-course or eight-course prix-fixe menu. Ingredients are imported from Mexico, including chiles, shellfish, wines, even the plates and art on the walls. San Diego has always been famous for its casual Mexican food, but for decades the top chefs struggled to convince people it could be every bit as refined and revered as French kitchens. Not anymore. The dishes you have to eat: Ceviche Verde, Wagyu Costilla, and the Coctel de Camaron. Join Valle at the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival. Tickets in bio. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
These are the chefs of the Del Mar Wine & Food Festival. We’ll tell their stories all summer long, and then bring them together on the epic lawn at the Grand Tasting, Sept. 9 and 10. You should join us. 👨🍳THE CHEF: Brian Malarkey (@brianmalarkey). Brian’s known for a lot of things. Top Chef. And hats. His baby blues. He’s got a preternatural energy that suggests his blood is a natural stimulant. He’s also built San Diego restaurants, oh so many restaurants—@herbandwood, @herbandsea, @animae.sandiego. Fifteen restaurants total. Then the TV shows. He did a full season of a show with Bourdain. He and festival host Troy Johnson have been judging together on Guy’s Grocery Games on Food Network since the 1800s. Most recently Brian launched Chef’s Life (@chefslife.co), a cooking oil specifically formulated for home chefs. Little known fact: he’s a cowboy. Grew up on a ranch in Oregon and was a high school rodeo king. 👨🍳THE CHEF: Claudia Sandoval (@chefclaudiasandoval). Only thing hotter than her hair is her cooking. Claudia was born and raised in San Diego. Her mom and grandma taught her to cook, just as they’d learned in Sinaloa, Mexico. Claudia’s life changed in 2016 when she won Gordon Ramsey’s Master Chef. She took that celebrity moment, applied her trademark tireless work and smarts, launched her own culinary consulting and catering company (Claudia's Cocina), wrote a best-selling cookbook (Claudia’s Cocina: A Taste of Mexico), her own line of Celebrity Chef Meal Delivery in partnership with Home Bistro, and continues to do more and more TV. In less polite yet appropriate terms: she’s a badass See you in Del Mar. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
Meet the restaurants of the Grand Tasting, Sept. 9-10. Today…Puesto. San Diego’s homegrown taco success story. Three brothers and two cousins from a first-gen Mexican-American family started it. Their first neat trick was wrapping each taco in crispy melted cheese. Then they added hunks of parm to their guacamole, started brewing Mexican beers that won the Olympic medal of beers, went nuts with serious cocktails using additive-free tequilas. In short, @eatpuesto has not messed this up. Short cuts be damned. They juice 140,000 limes each month for their margs, make nine different salsas from scratch every day, hand-press every tortilla (after 20 million, some strong hands). That’s probably why they’ve now got nine locations and have sold 20 million tacos. Our perfect order: Lobster guacamole, passionfruit + mango ceviche, and a trio of tacos (try the pozole, short rib quesabirria, and verduras). Catch Puesto at our Grand Tasting on Saturday, September 9. Get your tickets by visiting the link in bio. #dmwf #delmarwineandfood #delmarfest #sandiegofood #sandiegowine #visitsandiegoca
We pride ourselves on the wine we drink. From dinner parties and date nights, to casual sips with friends, we understand that each event requires a carefully curated selection of wine to pour. Del Mar Fest is no exception and these are a few of our partnering wineries that make us proud. 🍷Pali Wine Co. produces premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the hills of Santa Rita and believe that good times are the essence of a great wine. 🍷Chateau Montelena builds their wines to stand the test of time. By exploring the past and questioning the future, each bottle tells a unique story. 🍷Ehlers Estate crafts each bottle with three simple values: a passion for wine, dedication to excellence, and commitment to an enduring legacy. This is a glimpse into the passion our partners will bring to the Polo Fields in Del Mar this September.

Our goal in life is simple: eat good food, drink good wine. Because we’re ambitious people and you have to have goals in life. Along the journey, we’ve encountered some exceptional restaurants, the ones that just make you feel a little warm inside. Valentina, the beloved Leucadia bistro located just along Hwy 101, makes us feel warm inside. Named after the owner’s daughter, their menu is a blend of Spanish and Mediterranean food, the décor is coastal casual chic, and they don’t discriminate against wine for breakfast. Whether it's a morning catch-up with friends or an afternoon rendezvous, Valentina complements every time of day. We’re bringing all our friends, including Valentina, to a giant party this September at the polo fields in Del Mar.
