Sepia Wine Dinner with Brooks Winery |
On: 09/19/2011 |
Location: Sepia Restaurant |
Michelin star-rated Sepia restaurant, located in the booming West Loop dining district, is pleased to announce a one-night-only winemaker dinner, the first public event to be held in its just-opened private event space, Private Dining by Sepia. On September 19, 2011, Sepia will partner with Brooks Winery to present a four-course tasting menu paired with a unique line-up of wines from the Oregon vineyard. Wine Director Arthur Hon has worked closely with Brooks Managing Director Janie Brooks Heuck and Winemaker Chris Williams to carefully select current releases as well as vintages from the Brooks Riesling and Pinot Noir library collections to complement the flavors of Executive Chef Andrew Zimmerman's invective seasonal cuisine. This unique winemaker dinner will showcase a new wine-based cocktail, artfully crafted by Sepia Head Bartender Josh Pearson. Diners will have the opportunity to sample his concoction, which highlights Brooks' distinctive late harvest Riesling, Sweet P. The Pairings Columbia River Breeze Coriander Cured Hiramasa, Peach-Miso, Cucumber, Ground Cherry, Tarragon Apple Cider Braised Pork Belly, Apricot, Chanterelle, Marcona Almond These pairings offer guests a rare retrospective opportunity; both the 2002 Pinot Noir and 2003 Riesling are the creations of the late Jimi Brooks, the company's original winemaker and founder who passed away in 2004. As such, the dinner will offer wine lovers an exceptional chance to appreciate Brooks' present collection, as well as highlights from years past.
