Riedel Wine Tasting October 25, 2008

Morton’s The Steakhouse in Philadelphia hosts a special Riedel Wine Tasting on Monday, October 20, 6 – 7:30 p.m., inviting guests to explore the difference that a wine glass can make on how wines taste. The event features Riedel “Flow” series wine glasses paired with red and white wines along with Morton’s signature hors d’oeuvres. Cost to attend the event is $70 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity, which includes a take-home gift of four Riedel “Flow” series wine glasses. For reservations, call 215-557-0724.

Guests can enjoy Erath Pinot Noir with fresh fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry, and blueberry; Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Chardonnay with fresh apple, ripe pear and spice aromas and flavors; Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Cabernet with dense aromas of boysenberry and brown sugar spice with layers of fruit, nicely integrated, yet very age-worthy, tannins; and Chateau Ste. Michelle Horse Heaven Sauvignon Blanc with flavors of white grapefruit and lime and hints of fresh herbs; poured in Riedel “Flow” series wine glasses.

The wine tasting is paired with Morton’s signature hors d’oeuvres, including petite filet mignon sandwiches, chicken goujonettes, broiled sea scallops, and miniature key lime tarts. Guests in attendance will also receive a special take-home gift of four Riedel “Flow” series wine glasses (a retail value of $60).
