Chilean Wine Tasting

PA3 cordially invites you to 

A Journey Through Chilean Wine Country

Saturday, February 26, 2022

6:00 pm – 7:30 pm.

Via Zoom

 

We begin our wine tastings for 2022 virtually, with the hope that a face-to-face event becomes feasible later in the year.  We look forward to participation by our "regulars," as well as those who are joining us for the first time.  Salud!

Our somelier Sebastian has chosen 4 wines from Chile and 2 of them are appropriate for spicey food. The Quintay Clava Chardonnay can be paired with spicy raw fish, Chinese food, mussels and light cheeses. The Clos Des Fous, Pour Ma Gueule Itata Red Blend 2018, Itata Valley can be paired with grilled tuna, Korean spicy chicken, and Indian Cuisine.

 The other two – Odfjell Orzada Carmenere 2019,  Maule Valley, and Vina Santa Carolina, Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2017, Maipo Valley – can be paired with steaks on the grill, beef empanadas, and lamb.

Optional Cost: $74 plus tax for four bottles of wine plus a seminar with a certified sommelier and educator. It is not required to purchase the wines or buy all 4 bottles.  

Please feel free to plan your menu with this wine tasting. Those of you planning Lunar New Year meals might find this tasting helpful.   Of course, cheese can also be paired. Michele at Olsson’s has cheese pairing suggestions (posted below) if you are interested. ( 609 924-2210 or madams@olssonsfinefoods.com)

For Zoom instructions, RSVP with affiliation by February 22 to Mo Chen ’80 at mochen1746@outlook.com.
