Richard Blais Hosts the After Hours Party
at the Pool House and Oxford Social
SEVEN TOP CHEFS AND A HOSTED BAR
Join the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival at the Pool House and Oxford Social for the After Hours Party with Host Richard Blais.
Seven of the city’s top chefs throw a party around the pool. Gonna be a hell of a night.
Richard Blais (Top Chef All Stars, Next Level Chef), Claudia Sandoval (MasterChef winner), Nate Appleman (James Beard winner), JoJo Ruiz (Lionfish/Serea), Tara Monsod (Animae), Lauren Lawless (as seen on Food Network), Karen Krasne (Extraordinary Desserts).
Drinks?
Yes.
Beverage director Ted Glennon—who curated wines for a couple Michelin star spots, plus Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival—is on it.
“I’ve been gathering together a mountain of great wine for the party,” he says. “Red, rose, white, fizz.
Our featured wineries have been generous. The only theme is outstanding quality and FUN.”
Feeling more like beer and spirits? Casamigos and MillerCoors will have you covered.
And Nate Appleman will be crafting zero-proof drinks so good that no one will be left out.
