Long Shadows Wine Dinner a Great Success

Wednesday, March 2nd, we had another outstanding wine dinner at Daniel's Broiler-Bellevue. If you didn't hear about it, it's only because the event sold out so quickly, we didn't even get a chance to blog or Facebook about it!

The biggest hit of the night was the 2007 Saggi Red Table wine, paired with a delicious free range Chicken Pancetta with pearl onions and tomatoes in a red wine sauce. So good! Chef Mike Dremman has outdone himself at every wine event, and this was no exception.

We also heard some great insights into the wine business and interesting history behind the different wines we tasted throughout the evening from the legendary Washington State wine industry visionary of Long Shadows Vintners, Allen Shoup. Long Shadows Vintners produces wines from Washington State made by world renowned winemakers from around the world.

Someone just emailed us with this comment: "Thank you so much for last night — it was a wonderful evening. We sat at a great table with some very interesting gentlemen and the wine and food were exceptional — what a treat!!!"

If you haven't experienced one of our wine dinners, you really owe it to yourself. It's an evening to remember. Our next one features Mark Ryan, Stevens and Gorman wineries on April 13th, starting at 6 PM.
