"Everyday" Cellars Wine Dinner March 10, 2008

Wouldn’t it be nice if you always had the perfect bottle of wine on hand to have with dinner when you feel like it? We are specifically referring to wines that would be destined for (near) immediate consumption – not aging.

In this two-part series, we will highlight 12 styles of wines that, if you could reach into your cellar (or maybe a nifty wine refrigerator), can round out almost any meal you cook. Or, if you’re like a lot of us, carry out! From pizza to pot roast, Thai curry to gourmet mac-and-cheese, we will give you ideas of the pantry wines needed to stock your cellar for everyday use.

The first six wines are specially paired with a menu from Grovewood’s award-winning kitchen. Tricia Phelan of Vintage Wine Distributor will lead the discussion. A complimentary recipe book of the dishes served (but adapted for the home kitchen) will be presented, with additional pairing suggestions for the wines to show just how versatile the list is!

All wines will be available to add to your collection at State Minimum Retail Pricing, with case discounts available, including mixed cases.

Reservations required. Cost: $58 per person, excluding tax and gratuity
