This review is for the truly fantastic Taste of Spain wine dinner we had last night. We were seated in a private room upstairs in round tables sort of like a wedding. We had four courses along with a wine paring with each course along with a great miked drink of Spanish Liquor with dessert.
First we Kumato Tomato and herbed goat cheese salad pared with a nice fragrant white wine.
Second course was Lobster Paella pared with with Celeste Tempranillo, had a medium body and not too overly heavy as to not over power the seafood.
Third course was a wonderful glazed pork tenderloin with an unusual avocado salsa pared with the best wine of the night, Salmos red blend. Full bodied and fragrant. Everybody at our table loved it.
Last was a great small Filet Mignon topped with pepper butter and prepared exactly as I requested, medium rare served with lyonnaise fingerling potatoes and green string beans with almonds. Accompanied by a Cabernet Sauvignon- quite good and would have been much more appreciated had it not been for the memorable Salmos served in the previous course.
Don't forget dessert - a Tres Leches Cake with orange whipped cream and along side a solid chocolate cookie with what looked to be pistachio nuts.Served with a brandy and orange liqueor cocktail
They gave a short explanation of each wine as they were served. The service was right on and each table was served in unison. All the food with the exception of the paella (over done) was really over the top. Everyone at our table looked to have had a good time, I know I did.
