The Salt Creekers are pretty excited about their upcoming Paso Robles wine dinner on February 27. They tasted through an extensive line-up of wines from Opolo Vineyards last Monday and Chef Munoz then came up with a very inspired menu. I’d have to say there is something for everyone here: Foodies and Wine peeps alike. The dinner is to be held on the patio at Salt Creek Grille Valencia starting at 6:30 p.m. Space is limited on the patio – and Eddie and I are taking up two seats for sure – so make a reservation as soon as you can: 661-222-9999. The cost is $84 per person plus tax and gratuity.
