June 25 from 7-8:30 pm in the Wine Garden (weather permitting)
Break out of the California wine rut and dip your toes into the exciting pool of wines from other emerging wine producing regions. As always, wines are picked by the Mistress of Wine herself, Joyce DeNeal, while Executive Chef Lisa Slay creates food courses from the corresponding countries.

paired with Domaine Paul Blanck Pinot Blanc D' Alsace 2004 Alsace, France
-Chicken Empanada w/ chorizo, raisins & olives

Sounds awesome. I do hope you go and take notes to bring back for us. I wish I could join you! Maybe one day you'll be back in Fla and we'll set up our own tasting / pairing!
