J. Brix Wines and Christophe Rull Patisserie Host Wine & Chocolate Pop-Up

This Valentine’s weekend, two of San Diego’s hottest culinary couples are teaming up for a limited-time pop-up in the North City district on February 13 and 14 from 4:30pm to 8pm. Michelin-trained pastry chef and Netflix star Christophe Rull and his wife Wilma Rull are joining forces with Emily Towe and Jody Brix Towe of J. Brix Wines for Hearts & Vines, a wine and chocolate pairing perfect for Galentine’s evening fun with friends or a romantic Valentine’s tasting. Offerings include the Cobble + Sand Chardonnay paired with white chocolate infused with Meyer lemon, pistachio, and a hint of vanilla; the Audire Pinot Noir matched with 72% dark chocolate layered with fleur de sel, poached pear, salted caramel, and silky ganache; and the Stay in Bed Red Blend alongside pure 80% dark chocolate to showcase the wine’s depth and smoky character. The VIP experience is $50 per person and includes a front-row seat at the bar, with a guided walkthrough from the owners on the pairing and creation process. A $35 walk-in experience is also available. Bottles of wine and chocolate confections will be available for purchase separately.
