Don’t Miss: Gracie’s Wine Dinner With Grapes & Grains
Thursday, August 08, 2013
Gracie's will partner will Grapes & Grains next Thursday to bring you a night of delicious French wines and meals.
The star of the night
The evening will feature wines from Domaine Gerard Metz, located in the charming village of Ittersviller in the heart of Alsace, and also an impressive collection from the most important villages in Southern Rhone bottled under the Patrick Lesec Selections label. "There are few wineries that get us as excited as Gerard Metz & Patrick Lesec,” said Peter Andrews, General Manager of Grapes & Grains, who is co-hosting the event.
Perfect pairings
Winemakers in Alsace are not just famous for making some of the best still white wines in the world; they are also among the very best at making rich and concentrated desert wines. These delicious, and often very expensive wines, are made from specially selected late-harvested grapes. Pastry Chef Melissa Denmark’s dessert course is one of the evening’s menu highlights. “I love creating desserts that are harmonious with wine. Our dessert course will showcase the local peach harvest, enhanced with a bit of spice. It’s going to be deliciously paired with a late harvest wine from Gerard Metz,” said Denmark.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
