 GoodSpirits & Kobrand
February 25th ~ 6pm ~ Minnehaha Country Club
Kobrand was founded on three cornerstones: quality of product, quality of people, and quality of relationships. It is therefore logical that their portfolio today continues to reflect the unerring principle of quality. This principle continues to guide every step of their growth, from the choice of new representations, to the range of services demanded by an increasingly sophisticated and competitive market, to the informed personnel who provide them.
Our guest presenter is Grant Bender the Midwest Regional Manager for Kobrand. He has been with Kobrand for 8 years and has over 18 years experience in the restaurant and wine industry. He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America - New York and we are very excited to have his knowledge and expertise at our disposal!
Our Happy Half-Hour, beginning promptly at 6pm, will feature Domaine Carneros Brut Rose Sparkling and St. Francis Red Blend. We will present wonderful new cheeses from our GoodSpirits selection to pair with both wines.
The main event will begin with Grilled Grouper Vera Cruz which is fresh grouper poached in a rich miso broth topped with tomatoes, green olives, scallions, grilled fennel, leeks, mussels and clams. This outstanding dish will be paired with the Caposaldo Pinot Grigio and Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc. The Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti and St. Francis Merlot will be paired with Duck Sous Vide finished with forest mushrooms in a roasted shallot demi glace and a barley cake. The St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon and Taylor-Fladgate Fine Ruby Porto will end the meal accompanied by a Warm Chocolate Soup! My mouth is watering already!
