First and Third Friday "Wine-Knows" at Dreadnought Wines and Palate Partners.
August 6th
How many times have you stood in a State Store, staring at shelves of wine bottles, wondering ‘will I like it after I buy it?’
For many years Palate Partners and Dreadnought Wines in Pittsburgh's Strip District have been giving wine lovers the opportunity to learn about specialty wines before buying them at their First and Third Friday "Wine-Knows" at their store at 2013 Penn Avenue.
Folks gather to learn about three red and three white wines, carefully selected by owner Mike Gonze, complimented by breads and fine cheeses, and to enjoy the company of other Oenophiliacs.
Mike Gonze has taught classes for Community College of Allegheny County for over twenty years and created their wine education curriculum. Along with presenting seminars for the local Chapters of the American Wine Society, and the AWS National Conference, Mike frequently presents custom wine seminars for local corporations like Bayer, American Express and First Tier Bank. He is an active member of the Society of Wine Educators and has attended their conferences in Oregon, Seattle and Vancouver. Mike is a frequent visitor to wineries in the US, has visited wineries in the Loire Valley and the Southern Rhone regions of France, Italy and regularly attends tastings sponsored by importers, distributors, the Culinary Institute of America, and boutique wineries. Mike maintains a personal wine cellar with over 1000 bottles specializing in lesser known wines from the US and around the world.
Needless to say, Mike knows his wines. And he loves bringing that knowledge to Pittsburghers.
After receiving an education about the Wines represented by Dreadnought, patrons can order the wines they like, and pick them up two business days later (as required by state law).
Pittsburgh wine lovers can meet and greet each other at these regular "Wine-Knows" twice monthly, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the Palate Partners/Dreadnought Wines store at 2013 Penn Avenue in the Strip District. The events are open to the public at the cost of only $12.00 per person and no RSVP is necessary. For more information, call (412) 391-8502

Start: 6:00 pm

Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan attended one in 1873, along with the whole village. Elvis had one in 1967. And in August, Dreadnought Wines and The Penn Avenue Fish Company will have one here in Pittsburgh!
On Wednesday, August 11, 2010, wine and seafood lovers are invited to explore the right wines to compliment many oceanic delights at a fun twist on the old fashioned “Clambake!” presented by The Penn Avenue Fish Company and Dreadnought Wines at Penn Avenue Fish Co. in the Strip District, beginning at 6:00 PM.
The New England Clam Bake is a traditional method of cooking foods, especially seafood such as lobster, mussels, crabs, steamers, and quahogs. The seafood is often supplemented by sausages, potatoes, onions, carrots, corn on the cob, etc. Clam bakes are usually held on festive occasions along the coast of New England. Since we’re not on the coast, we’ll be adapting our Clambake accordingly, but we’ll have no shortage of festiveness. Our Clambake will include clams, 1 ½ lbs of lobster, mussels, corn, shrimp and potatoes, all complimented by Dreadnought Wines, and with a few special fun surprises thrown in. (Sorry, but Elvis already left the building)
The Penn Avenue Fish Company is located at 2208 Penn Avenue in the Strip District and is open Monday-Saturday from 9:00am to 4:00pm, offering an exquisite selection of fresh fish and deliciously healthy lunches featuring grilled and roasted fish sandwiches, salads, homemade soups and sushi.
Dreadnought is a wine distributor in Pennsylvania, representing boutique wineries from around the world. Michael Gonze and Debra Mortillaro (an executive chef), co-owners of Dreadnought Wines and Palate Partners have been bringing wine and food pairing events to Pittsburgh for over 20 years.
To be a part of this very special evening of gourmet seafood and wine, pre-paid reservations of $110 per person (gratuity NOT included) are required by calling Dreadnought Wines at (412) 391-1709 or clicking the RSVP link below. Space is limited, so interested parties must RSVP by August 9th.
Who could ask for anything more? Click the image above for some clambake nostalgia!
