Sea Legs Wine Bar Storefront

If you like good food and wine, there is an awesome place to go located in Huntington Beach and it is called Sea Legs Wine Bar. It is located in a strip mall off of Adams and Beach Blvd. in the city of Huntington Beach.  There are fabulous wine and food selections to choose from. I wanted to share about my experience at Sea Legs in which I went to check out the four course meal (really 8 because two items come with each course to share) with wine pairings included…I must say I was pleasantly impressed and I know you will be as well.

Yummy Wine

As we strolled up into the shopping center, we could see it was a lively place. I remembered the center from back in the day when I used to shop for fun and funky clothing at Zac Attac which is long gone since the 90’s, but now housed in the same shopping center was a fun bar called “Tumbleweeds,” a frozen yogurt store and several other great places.  The location of Sea Legs is fabulous being so close to the beach.

Fresh Summer Salad

For our first course we received a glass of Fragrant Snare Chardonnay Blend from Paso Robles paired with Sea legs summer salad that had fresh arugula, strawberries, oranges, figs, feta, candied walnuts, with rose white balsamic vinaigrette. The other item they served with the chardonnay was lump crab cakes with lemon tarragon aioli & micro celery. Both of these dishes were pretty amazing. I am a huge salad person and if I can get a salad that is fresh with a variety of different ingredients than the norm, it certainly makes my taste buds

Zotovich Syrah From Santa Barbara With Drunken Forest Mushroom Crostini

The second course was presented with a glass or Zotovich Syrah from Santa Barbara. I love Syrah and Santa Barbara is one of my familiar stomping grounds as I love to go wine tasting regularly, but I have not yet been to this vineyard, but I definitely need to go now…mmhhmm…hints of cherry and a warm smokiness definitely tantalized my taste buds.  When it was paired with course 2 which was a drunken forest mushroom crostini with

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

forest mushrooms sautéed in Chianti and mixed with asiago cheese, micro basil and herb oil served on toast points also with a serving of prosciutto wrapped asparagus with roasted tomato, pine nuts, and lemon juice, I was definitely in heaven!!  My mouth was watering over the succulent foods and wines I had just tasted and my tummy was getting full, but there was no stopping there…On to course 3!

Cabernet Sauvignnon From Forces of Nature from the Paso Robles Region

I must say before mentioning the next wine…these wine pours were VERY generous…so you will definitely be maintaining a relaxed feeling even with all of the food dancing on your table. The next wine was my personal favorite and it was a Cabernet Sauvignon made by Forces of Nature from the Paso Robles region.   I am definitely no stranger to wine as it is usually part of my four food groups. I

Truffle Macaroni And Cheese

LOVE the Paso Robles wine region.  This wine was bold in flavor with many fresh fruits, yet a tobacco smoky blend arrived on my tongue and there was a pleasant soft finish. I would definitely buy this bottle!  The Cabernet Sauvignon was served with a Bulgogi marinated Flank Steak served with fingerling

potatoes, Mirin glazed roasted Brussels sprouts and pickled onion with a large side of truffle macaroni and cheese that was comprised of three cheeses, truffle oil, and encrusted with white cheddar!

Oh yes my friends…read on…
