Wine & Dine Mondays Schedule

It’s all Greek to me!
February 22nd, 2010 7:00PM
Birthplace of Western civilization, Greece is in many ways also the birthplace of our modern wine culture. Greek wine has come a long way since an appellation system was put into place in the 1970’s. Travel both across the pond and back in time for this wine dinner.

Following:

Barossa Valley/Langmeil Winery
March 8th, 2010 7:00PM
Barossa is considered one of the top districts on the Australian wine map. Despite being made in a high-tech and modern fashion, the area’s wines are like the Australian people: outgoing and unpretentious. Join us for this culinary adventure.

Tempranillo
March 22nd, 2010 7:00PM
Tempranillo is a black grape varietal widely grown to make full-bodied red wines. The Phoenicians brought this grape to the Iberian peninsula where it found its home. We will not only sample the wines from Spain and Portugal, but also a new world version from California.

Alsace – Maison Hugel
April 12th, 2010 7:00PM
Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riquewihr, France in 1639 after the Thirty Years War and soon took charge of the Corporation of Winegrowers. The family has been making wine in Alsace ever since. During this journey we will sample some of the traditional varieties of the region.

Austria
April 26th, 2010 7:00PM
In the 1980’s the Austrian Parliament enacted perhaps Europe’s most stringent wine legislation drawing young winemakers and cutting-edge techniques to the vineyards and cellars with the law’s emphasis on quality over quantity. Austria makes some of the raciest, most exciting wines in central-eastern Europe. Still relatively unknown, they deserve wider recognition. Come see what you think!

Blind tasting
May 10th, 2010 7:00PM
For the last wine dinner of the season, we will blind taste some of our favorites from our previous adventures. If you’ve been with us the entire journey maybe you’ll be able to identify some of your favorites as well. If this is your first trip with us it will be a memorable one!
