We are running out of
superlatives! The Holiday Wine Pairing
dinner was just fantastic! In case you
were out performing your act of kindness for Mr. Rogers’ National Kindness Day,
John Eld expertly showed us how to pair the following wine foods:
Zuccardi Serie A
Torrontes Salta 2018 ($9.99 #79033) paired with a crabmeat salad appetizer, by Renee
Ralke.
Isabella Bobal Ribera
del Jucar 2017 ($7.99 #79057) and Secoli Amarone della Valpolicella 2016 ($29.99
#79021) paired with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, by Mary Eld (who
did entirely TOO much).
Bodegas Ego Infinito
Jumilla 2015 ($16.99 #78990) paired with roast beef au jus, by Susan
Colville -Cook and Christmas green beans with toasted pecans, by Susan
Randall.
Castello Banfi Rosa
Regale Sparkling Brachetto ($21.99 #6239) paired with chocolate brownies by
Mary Eld, with raspberry sauce by Mary Ann Hirt.
Terry Germanoski made
the fantastic bread which was served with dinner.
Santina Balistriere & Jim Hessler made the French-press coffee for our after-dinner pleasure.
The extra Santa’s helpers who assisted with plating in the kitchen and delivering dishes to the tables were Pat Germanoski, John Hoffman, and Adrian Gonzales.
As you can see, it
takes a village! Our sincere thanks to
all who helped to make this event so special.
There will be no tasting in December so that we can all celebrate the
holidays.
Our next tasting will be on
Saturday, January 18, 2020 at 6:00 PM.
