Verticals of South Puget Sound

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Did you know that the Seattle area is home to award-winning wines, and a highly-renowned culinary and enologic center? On Wednesday, April 9, we are bringing our neighbors together with our friends, to enjoy wonderful wines and food from the South Puget Sound area. The lineup consists of vertical pairs from four local Seattle wineries, with entrance wine from E.B. Foote Winery of Burien. Speakers for the evening include Ben Smith of Cadence, Tim Sorenson of Fall Line Winery, Tim Narby of Nota Bene Cellars, and Darryn O'Shea of O.S. Winery. In addition, Chef Ross Johnson of the Brockey Center at South Seattle Community College is preparing food bites, specially-prepared to accompany these fabulous wines!

Be sure to bring two wine glasses, in order to compare the verticals side-by-side. See you on the 9th!
