KIWANIS News:
Do you like to travel? Do you like to eat? Or even better, do you like to drink wine?
Get your passports ready and enjoy, “Wines of the World” 6-8:30 p.m. Sunday, at the Blue Window Bistro. The Kiwanis Club of Los Alamos will host an autumn wine tasting that will pair 10 wines from around the world with 10 incredible heavy hors d’oeuvres.
Close your eyes and smell the ocean breeze as you sample scallop and salmon cakes dressed with creamy remoulade and sip on California Mer Soleil Silver Chardonnay. Have you been to South America? Plan on Chilean empanadas and a taste of Terrunyo Carmenere. Zig-zag to Italy and enjoy Sicilian flat iron roulade with honey-red wine demi-glace coupled with Buglioni, Valpolicella Ripasso. Are we there yet? No! Head to the southern hemisphere and bite into spicy prawns peri peri paired with South Africa’s MA N Chenin Blanc. Don’t forget about our friends down-under as we savor herbed lamb chops with a Grenache reduction, served with Yangarra Old Vine Grenache. Is your sweet tooth getting impatient? Let’s make a quick stop in France for lavender infused crème brulee and Chateau La Riviere, Sauternes.
This gives you an idea of the evening’s itinerary and there are four more surprise stops along the way. Who knows what adventures are in store for your taste buds?
Forget about time-zones and jet-lag, prepare yourself for a world-wind evening that includes a total of 10 wines paired with 10 heavy hors d’oeuvres, leaving you fully satisfied and your napkin stamped with flavors from around the globe.
