WINE PAIRED LUNCHEON
Tyler Christensen will be pairing and presenting two wines as an addendum to the cooking class on June 18th, 2011. Our guests are served all of the meals presented in the class and Tyler’s pairings, insights, and history of the wine-making process complete the experience.
Wine’s Tyler will be presenting:
Alba Rosa Albarinho, Rias Baixas, Spain
Ripe and fleshy orchard fruits (apricots, peaches and pears), with a citrus touch. Excellent balance between acidity and a silky mouth feel, this wine has a long, persistent finish.
Bodegas Martinez Serantes – Condado do Tea sub-zone
Bodegas Martínez Serantes was established in 1984 and is located in the Val do Salnés sub-zone. Vineyards are 100% Albariño, and wines are marketed under the Dona Rosa brand, named after the owner’s wife.
Arenal Carmenere, Argentina
From Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“The Carmenere Arenal is dark ruby-colored with an alluring bouquet of cedar, spice box, blueberry, and plum. Supple, easy-going, and forward on the palate, this balanced, crowd-pleasing wine can be enjoyed over the next six years.”
Wine & Spirits Magazine:
(Oct. 2008) “The warmth of Colchagua comes through in this wine’s ripe flavors of chocolate and fig. Pour it with venison stew.”
(02/09) This wine’s lovely violet color and aromas of spice and black fruits only hint at the flavors and body of this spectacular value. On the palate the wine is elegant and subtle, with a medium body and a long finish. A fantastic introduction to the varietal!
ACCODLADES FOR MALEES THAI BISTRO COOKING CLASSES
“Cooking classes at Malee’s are always memorable. Deirdre, Chris and Merced make the experience fun and delicious. As the dishes are being demonstrated, we feel at ease to ask questions and study ingredients. We also sample each dish. After the cooking lesson, the class enjoys the entire meal (full portions) accompanied by dessert and wines selected by Tyler. Tyler gives interesting and in-depth explanations of why certain wines have been chosen to accompany the delicacies that have been prepared.
The whole experience is fantastic!
