An in-person winemaker dinner at The Morris in San Francisco featuring John Paul of Cameron Winery.
Event
San Francisco Gala Dinner
A black-tie BYOB multi-course dinner in San Francisco with rare bottles shared alongside winemakers and a menu by named chefs.
About the event
Black-tie BYOB format
The dinner is described as the grand finale: a black-tie BYOB event where guests share their rarest bottles alongside winemakers. Its communal, multi-course format is modeled on La Paulée de Meursault, the traditional Burgundian harvest celebration, so the central idea is shared bottles at the table rather than a standard hosted wine pairing.
Daniel Johnnes is named as owner of La Paulée, and the event is described as organized and founded by Daniel Johnnes / La Paulée. Those details place the dinner within the La Paulée program while keeping the focus on the gala’s BYOB, winemaker-adjacent dinner format.
Chefs and menu subjects
The source description ties the multi-course menu to Daniel Boulud, Stuart Brioza, and Michael Tusk. Daniel Boulud is also listed as Chef d’Honneur from Restaurant Daniel, while Stuart Brioza is listed as a Featured Chef from State Bird Provisions.
Additional named featured chefs are Dana Younkin from Boulevard, Melissa Perello from Octavia & Frances, Brandon Rice from Ernest, and Sebastian Brown from Holbrook House. No individual dishes are specified, so the useful takeaway is the named chef roster attached to the multi-course dinner rather than a course-by-course menu.
Place and booking path
The dinner is in San Francisco, with the listed address at 1 Sansome St, San Francisco, CA 94104.
