Wine Pairing Dinner a Great Success
On Wed night, Feb 9th a very special dinner was held at the home of Pam and Craig Carothers. Owing to the gernerosity of John Olson and Palotai winery and armed with a list of his favorite dishes wannabe tapas chef, Craig, decided to go for it :-). We were fortunate enough to have a very distinguised list of guests from the local community for this event. In attendence were:
Jeff Sesar |
Renown local chef of Victorian Inn fame as well as Plaza Grill, Abruzzi and Moonstone Grill. | |
|---|---|---|
Rick Breen |
Local Business Owner (Living Styles) | |
John Powell |
Humboldt Bay Bar Pilot | |
Mike Baretto |
Local Business Owner (Trinity Deisel) | |
David and Ashley MacCuish |
Local Agrabusiness personalities (Buck and Daisey) (Local Farmers Market Manager) | |
MarryAnn Anderson |
Local Restaraunt personality (Gills) | |
Paul and Sandi Beers |
Local sales personality (Vern's Furniture) |
Winemaker John Olson was scheduled to attend but last minute illness prevented him from making the 4+ hr drive. His presence was missed. The dinner was a success with all parties enjoying great food, wine and comeraderie. I would HIGHLY reccomend this type of event to all my friends and fellow wine club members. I look forward to recreating this dinner several times in the near future.
