CALIFORNIA WINE TASTING FROM DREADNOUGHT WINES AND PALATE PARTNERS

With Rania Harris and Mike Gonze at Rania's Catering

Wednesday, October 7
7:00 - 9:00 PM

Fee: $55.00

Over the years Mike Gonze, big cheese and head honcho of Dreadnought Wines, has brought wines from around the world to pair with the food that Rania prepares for his wine tastings. This time around, Mike has decided to stick with all American wines from California. The task at hand is for Rania to pair wonderful recipes to go with these great wines from the West coast. How do tomatoes from the farm market stuffed with corn and goat cheese sound to you?  Perfect with the Sauvignon Blanc from Yorkville Cellars, if you ask me! My Shrimp Scampi is going to knock your socks off when paired with the Eberle Cotes du Robles. Tomato and Black Olive Risotto with Scott Harvey Syrah is absolutely outstanding!  He won't tell me if he's bringing a big red Zinfandel or a bold Cabernet but I know no matter what he brings, my Steak Salad with Blue Cheese dressing is going to hit the mark! The dessert wine remains a mystery but the Pecan Tart in a Ginger Cookie Crust will pair well with whatever Mike brings to the class. Although, we don't demo the dishes that are being paired tonight, we will provide you with a few recipes...we just want you to relax, eat, sip and sniff.

Hurry and call us at 412-531-2222 to ensure your spot at the wine bar!
