Wine Pairing Dinner

Still trying to catch up on a few blog posts so bear with me!

A couple of weeks ago friends Claudia and Ralph invited us to attend a wine paring dinner in Salt Lake City with another couple (Kate and Lynne.) We spent probably more $$ on this one dinner than Joel and I spend eating out for dinner in six months. You get the idea that we do not go out much! But, with that said, this was probably one of the best pairing events we had ever attended! It was put on at Stanza which is an Italian restaurant but the theme of the dinner was Mexican influence, highlighting the wines of the Bodegas de Santo Tomas winery in Baja.

The wine pairings were amazing, especially the second one which brought out the cinnamon and spices of the Mole sauce. We decided to split a case of one of the wines with Claudia and Ralph to enjoy in the future. We need to get on Stanza’s mailing list for any upcoming events!

I didn’t get any photos of the first three courses – this was the fourth – Seared Scallops
Fifth Course
Sixth Course
Joel, the non-dessert guy, seemed to even enjoy this dessert! Paired fairly well with his IPA!
