Sokol Blosser Wine Dinner at Cafe Pasta (updated after event)

On November 5, I hosted a wine dinner at Cafe Pasta and Grille (305 State Street, 336-272-1308, cafepasta.com), featuring selections from Sokol Blosser, an Oregon winery. This is one of my favorites! Their wines are enjoyable by themselves, but they are especially food friendly, and not expensive. Wines were available to order at the end of the dinner. (PS- at a great VALUE !)

Cost for dinner, including wines, was $50. Watch this space for future such events!

First course- Artichoke and Spinach dip, with Pinot Gris wine.

 

Second course- Chicken Piccatta over linguine, with Evolution white. I love this wine!

We moved on to Seared Salmon and mixed fall vegetables, with Dundee Hills pinot noir. This embodies the unique qualities of Oregon pinot noir.

Dessert was cheesecake, made by Ray Essa's mother. 

My favorite cheesecake with a wine that is really special.
