In the banquet hall, guests began their Tour of Italy in the Peidmont region with M Chiarlo Cortese di Gavi paired with Cozze-steamed PEI mussels in a spicy tomato basil broth, sambuca and grilled bread. The next stop in the tour featured a Tuscan Nozzole Chianti paired with a green salad, zucchini, basil and white balsamic vinaigrette. “Pairing a red wine with a salad can be a daring move,” said Michelle from Horizon Wine and Spirits who provided the offerings. “Everyone’s palette is drastically different; it’s about what works for you. It’s all in what you taste and what you think.”
After an Intermezzo of watermelon sorbet, Chef Toby presented an ossobucco-braised veal shank, saffron risotto and a reserved lemon gremolta. The entrée was served with Cabreo, “the star of the night,” a super Tuscan red wine which is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The evening came to an end with a return to the Piedmont region. The slightly effervescent Nivole Muscato, with hints of white chocolate, nectarine and peaches complimented a dessert of white chocolate tiramisu.Michelle added, “This is not a wine tasting this is wine dinner and it the best value in town.” Join us for the next Uncorked! event on Thursday, September 15th.
