Thursday: Great Santa Barbara Wine & Winemakers
Wine country comes to the Lab again this Thursday! Meet winemakers Joey Gummere and Mark Horvath (an OC native.) Kenneth-Crawford is making some of the best wines I tasted at this springs vintners festival. We will be pouring wine from the killer Larner vineyard: Grenache & Syrah, Pinot Noir from Babcock vineyard (a more luscious Pinot is hard to find) and more. We'll be offering special prices that night.
Thursday June 11, 5 - 8:30 PM - $15. ($10 for Insider Club Members)
RSVP desired but not required - info@winelabnewport.com
Cheese of the Week: Mt. Tam
Cowgirl Creamery named its signature cheese MT TAM (Mt. Tamalpais is just north of San Francisco Bay.) It's a smooth, creamy, elegant, 10-oz, triple-cream - made with tasty organic milk from the Straus Family Dairy. MT TAM is firm, yet buttery with a mellow, earthy flavor reminiscent of white mushrooms. MT TAM won 1st Prize in the soft-ripened category at this year’s American Cheese Society competition. We are proud to offer this artisan cheese to accompany your wine tasting or to go. Our cheeses are competitively priced.
