Wente Wine dinner

I love wine dinners, be it in my home or at a beautiful wine restaurant, I find there is nothing better than sitting down with good friends over a meal and a few bottles of wine and having a good old time. I'm always on the lookout for a good fiesta, well I think I found a great recently. Sobo's Wine Beerstro in Salisbury, Md was full of excitement on June 28Th with the continuation of their monthly wine events with a special four course dinner featuring wines from Wente Vineyards. Dinner was led by Paula Lucas of Diversified Marketing fine wines and spirits and food prepared by Executive chef Frank Dubinski.

Wente's vision is to be the most respected family-owned winery in the world with a mission to create and deliver outstanding wine and wine country experiences. Their wines express the best characteristics of sustainable practices and the skill of their winemaker in balanced and memorable wines.

The four course event featured fresh local vegetables and meat from the Delmarva area and was artisinally prepared to rock our pallets with fresh vibrant flavors and life. The complete menu is featured below.

1st Course

Wente Vineyards Riva Ranch Chardonnay

Grilled Hawaiian spear fish, English pea puree and curry rice

The flavors and texture of this pairing were just out of this world. I'm not a chardonnay guy, but this wine really opened my eyes to what a good chardonnay can be,

2nd Course

Wente Shorthorn Canyon Syrah

Petite lamb pops mixed berry BBQ sauce, fingerling potato salad and Swiss chard

Fruit bomb all around!!

3rd Course

This was the best pairing of the night. Great structure in the wine and flavors of the meat and garlic.
