Sandwich and Wine Paring Event
Saturday, June 23, 2007
On Saturday, June 23, 2007 the Clark County Food And Wine Association held a sandwich and win paring event at the Bright's Residence. This was a members only event not offered to the general public. The event educated everyone in the paring of sandwiches and wine. The members were asked to bring one of the following bottles of wine: Riesling-Australian was suggested, Syrah-something that is rich and lower intannis and Any fruity red variety, with berry notes to accompany salty flavors. Dorine Bright paired the wines the members brought with the various foods served. Members may login to obtain more photos and recipes from the event.
