Ikal 1150 wine pairing at Brisa Cocina Mexicana with live Salsa music!

Prepare to enjoy a night in Uptown's finest Mexican restaurant like none other. On September 12, 2009 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Brisa will feature the Eleven-Fifty wines from Argentina alongside Mazatlan Style Ceviche and Queso Cilantro.

Ceviche
fresh gulf shrimp and scallops prepared Mazatlan style and finished with a pico de gallo vinagrette

Queso Cilantro
pork skin crusted Chihuahua cheese over roasted poblano tomatillo sauce, topped with fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds

Ikal 1150 Chardonnay 2007
An elegant wine prepared in the old-world style. The crisp clean finish and absence of butteryness make this wine an excellent companion to Ceviche.

Ikal 1150 Malbec 2007
A very complex and rustic wine make this Malbec the perfect companion to the spicy foods that dominate regional Mexican cuisine.

Ikal 1150 Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Complexity and bigness make this high-altitude Cab stand out from the crowd. The lingering, sweet tannins on the finish are to be savored.

Join Houstonian winemakers Sandra and Jerry Ward as they pour their award winning first vintage of 1150 from Bodega Ikal, a limited production vineyard they planted in Mendoza, Argentina. The pairing will demonstrate the versatility of the Ikal 1150 wines when served with regional Mexican specialties.

Live music from Angelucho
Join one of Houston's most elegant salsa bands who have performed alongside Cecilia Cruz and Tito Puente!
