| We just love wine-dinners and this coming series is titled: Sipping through the Sierra where we pair owner-chef, Victor's great menus with our favorite Sommelier, Nicole Darracq's top selections from each of the Sierra Foothill regions.
We start the series on November 9th, a Sunday, with Sipping Calaveras. Victor presented the menu to Nicole who tasted her way through Calaveras wines to pick the best of the region for pairing with the menu with an eye to value if there were equally delicious choices.
Sipping Calaveras Men
· Meet new friends and neighbors as we start with a cheese fondue with fresh cut apples, crostini and vegetables paired with Vina Moda, Viognier (Best of the Foothills at the California State Fair, 2008)
· Savor a salad of mixed greens, pear & sunflower seeds with a blue cheese dressing paired with Twisted Oak, White Rhone Blend (Rousanne & Marsanne)
· Enjoy a petite plate of clams simmered in a red wine sauce with Hatcher, Barbera
· Dinner is venison rack or filet mignon with plum onion marmalade, potatoes and veggies paired with Frog’s Tooth, Tempranillo
· Dessert is Zabaglione with Ironstone’s Symphony
Throughout dinner Nicole will be presenting her unique twist on food/wine and successful pairings. We have enjoyed Nicole's presentations before and are sure to come away with something new and refreshing this year too. We may even have a few winemakers join us, it isn't all that far away from Calaveras to Groveland!
