Right now you are probably asking yourself “What exactly is
a Winemakers Dinner?”
Last night I was fortunate to join friends at The Twisted Cork in Grants Pass, Oregon to
experience their monthly Winemakers Dinner.
This elegant wine and food-pairing event fuses together the culinary talents of
head chef Martha Fritz with one of the areas local wineries.
This five-course gourmet event started at 6pm and spotlighted
Scott Steingraber and the wines from Kriselle Cellars of White City, Oregon. Our first course featured a 2014 Sauvignon
Blanc paired together with shrimp, grilled ruby red grapefruit and chili
glaze. Next came a 2013 S/CS paired
with rigatoni, roasted fennel and veal sausage. The third course joined a 2013 Di’Tani with
savory corn crème brulee and duck prosciutto.
The fourth course featured a 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon with Cuban roasted
rack of pork. And for dessert - a 2013 Malbec
paired with a spicy dark chocolate cupcake with a berry-chili ganache filling topped with a chili cream cheese frosting. It was truly heavenly.
