Wine Tasting Dinner featuring local wines

 Recently a friend and I  attended a Wine Tasting Dinner featuring some local wines out of Jerome. The tasting was held in conjunction with Carrabba's Italian Grill restaurants located throughout the valley. If you enjoy good food and good wine then I highly recommend you try and get to one of these tastings. We were fortunate enough to sit next to the wine maker John McLoughlin during the dinner so we had plenty of time to ask him questions about his wines and where and when they are available. Both John and Chris the owner of the Carrabba's we went to made themselves available for questions about the wines both during and after dinner and made the entire event quite enjoyable. There are several tastings still scheduled for this month, with the locations and dates listed on my food events page. Listed below is a copy of the tasting menu, and the wines the foods will be paired with. It makes for a nice date night, but it's casual enough to go with a group and enjoy a nice evening out.  Or if you happen to be in Jerome for a weekend getaway stop by the Jerome Winery at 403 Clark Street, (928) 639-9067 and tell John you read about his wines on my page and you want to try some.
