Bistro Wine Tasting
18.95 Plus Tax Per Person
Last Wed of Every Month
Bistro is a recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and continues to offer patrons
top-tier, high-scoring wines and rare vintages you simply can't get at many dining establishments.
Complimentary hors d'oeuvres are served at every wine-tasting event. Selected wines for this next:
Domaine Schlumberger, Pinot Blanc, Alsace, France The wine evolves to a sharp medium, marked by pearling. The rage of aromas recalls the nose, always focused on citrus fruits, lemon, apple, white flowers, fine vegetal, lemongrass, hops and always this underlying smoky note. There is a slight bitterness. The finish has a good length, 6-7 caudalies, as well as a persistent frank liveliness. The balance is focused on freshness.
Domaine Schlumberger, Pinot Gris, Alsace, France With plenty of floral-honey, caramelized-pear and some melon aromas, medium-full body and a creamy texture, this is a very classic Alsace pinot gris. But it is drier than most with a nice touch of positive tannin at the clean finish. Rather food-friendly. Drink now.
Domaine Schlumberger, Gewurztraminer, Alsace, France This is a minor gewurz masterpiece thanks to the exciting interplay of rose water and rose hip character, with citrusy and pineapple freshness. Some salty minerality adds an extra layer of complexity. Beautiful balance at the silky and dry finish. Drink or hold.
Domaine Schlumberger, Riesling, Alsace,France Grassy chamomile aromas invite you in. Upon first sip, dazzling fruit notes of pear and grapefruit show great restraint, held in check by zingy acidity. The long finish offers soft, delicate notes of apricot, both fresh and something akin to a fruit snack.
Hors d'oeuvres Served Are Selected From This List - Lolli Pop Lamb Chops, Smoked Salmon, Sesame Seared Tuna, Blackened Salmon, Steak Tips, Meat Balls, Clams Casino, Shrimp Tempura,
Coconut Shrimp, Chicken Satay, Duch Wonton, Lobster Rissotto, Mushroom Risotto, Broschetta on French Toast, Oysters, Caramelized
Scallops, Mini Crab Cakes, Shrimp Scampi, 3 Cheese Ravioli, Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto, Celery with Creamed Blue Cheese.

First Course:
Octopus ceviche - paired with Albarino, Lagar de Bouza, Galicia, Spain. This is a delightfully refreshing coastal white that grows on the Iberian Peninsula. It’s loved for its rich stone fruit flavors, a hint of salinity, and zippy acidity.
Second Course:
Risotto with asparagus - paired with Rose, Riviera, Jako Wine, Veneto, Italy. A unique rose made of three Italian indigenous grapes: Corvina, Rondinella, Marzemino. A dry wine with a well-balanced acidity. Fruity nose and a lingering aftertaste. A small production of 3,000 bottles.
Third Course:
Beef carpaccio - paired with Pinot Noir, @Winery by Robert Rex, Sonoma, CA. This wine is from the Carneros appellation at the southern end of Sonoma County where it touches the San Francisco Bay. True to its origins, it is gentle in color, delicate on the palate, delightfully complex, and delicious aromas of cheery cola and black fruits. A limited-production wine.
Fourth Course:
Lamb Chops - paired with Via Blanca, Terroir Series Bodegas Iaccarini, Mendoza, Argentina. This wine is an elegant and fruity red violet wine. In the nose it is intense and it shows fresh red fruit notes. In the mouth, it impacts sweetly with a nice medium palate and soft and round tannins typical of the vineyard.
Fifth Course:
Coconut Pie - paired with Moscato, Cantina dei Casteggio, Oltrepo Pavese, Piedmont, Italy. A light-bodied and crispy wine. Aromas of fresh peach. An excellent choice for sweet pairing delicacies.
