CURATED WINE PAIRINGS BY MASTER SOMMELIER PATRICK OKUBO
One of only six Master Sommeliers in Hawaiʻi, Patrick will be hand-selecting wines to complement the chefs’ dishes throughout the evening. As Founder and Chair of the Aloha Wine Foundation, Patrick brings his passion and expertise to create a truly elevated experience for our guests.
Beyond his expertise in wine, Patrick is also part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawaiʻi ʻohana as a dedicated mentor to his youth, Jacob, making his involvement in this special evening even more meaningful.
CELEBRATING THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP
This year, we are honored to recognize two incredible examples of the lasting impact of mentorship and community:
Pilikana Hero — Cathy Ching
Co-founder of ʻAʻALIʻI Mentoring and a dedicated advocate for expanding mentorship opportunities for Hawaiʻi’s youth.
Lifetime Match — Kim Leslein Soares & Wayne Kato
First matched in 1988, Kim and Wayne have remained connected for more than 38 years—a beautiful example of how one mentoring relationship can create a lifelong impact.
Your evening at Perfect Pairings By The Sea goes beyond great food and wine. Your support helps Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawaiʻi continue providing meaningful mentoring relationships and opportunities for youth across our islands.
Come eat, sip, celebrate, and support the power of mentorship.
Guests must be 21+ to attend.
