Review:
It was a gorgeous spring afternoon. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and everyone arrived with their appetites whetted. Our guests were treated to some of the best pairing combinations we have offered to date. Laura's cuisine wowed everyone in attendance, and in some cases made them cry (spicy!). Laura explained to us why the grouper (delicious with our CEV Gewrztraminer) was a beautiful, bright orange colour. I know Caldwell's Grant won some new clients by the end of the day!
And our very own Kevin Donahue (Colio's Vineyard Manager) gave attendees the benefit of his keen nose and expert knowledge of wine and food pairing. We knew it was going well when the second group applauded at the end of the session. Kevin commented afterward, "no applause just money......for the Harley of course".
If you missed this wine & food pairing, we have another one coming up June 8, 2008. Watch the website for times and menu. More info to come in May.
