EVENT DESCRIPTION:

 

   The Miami chapter welcomed a full house at our coed dinner and wine event at Ghee Miami, serving a unique style of Indian cuisine, located in the Dadeland Center. While Ghee is relatively new to Miami, the owner and chef, Niven Patel, and his wife Shivani, have already opened a second location in the Miami Arts District. The restaurant has had notable success and critical acclaim for its very modern and tropical take on Indian cuisine, what I like to term “nouvelle Indian". The menu is extremely inventive, and is a revelation for those of us who enjoy and regularly partake of traditional Indian food. One of the notable features of this restaurant is that much of the produce and spices used come from the Patel‘s ranch in Homestead.

   The Patel’s were very excited about this event and wine pairing, and planned a multicourse family-style meal that highlighted the many facets of their menu. We found our initial tasting dinner was a delightful and educational wine pairing experience, with some unusual choices from our cellar and recommendations by the beverage manager at Ghee, who is most interested in the pairing of wines with Indian food. We had multiple wines to pair ranging from the old favorite Alsatians to mature structured reds to soft and fruity Subcontinental discoveries. The wine of the evening was by many votes the 2007 Tablas Creek Esprit de Beaucastel but every course was a treat and there was a wonderful diversity of favorites.

Dear IW&FS Members: 

You are invited to our 378th event.

WHERE:

Tarpon Bend

65 Miracle Mile

Coral Gables, FL, 33134

 

WHEN:

Monday, March 26, 2018

Reception at 7:00 PM

Dinner at 7:30 PM

 

EVENT DESCRIPTION: 

Our favorite Cellar-Raider Bob Dickinson has pulled an evening full of fabulous wines that are at their peak, begging to be savored and compared.  This will be a spectacular evening for 25 lucky members with the cuisine by Tarpon Bend owner and Chef Wayne Eldred. Wines like these are why we have a premier cellar and this menu represents some never-before and perhaps never-again opportunities -at least until we acquire more. Every wine is superb.

We’ll start with 2002 Billecart-Salmon Champagne Cuvée Nicolas-François Billecart en magnum with Tarpon Bend’s passed hors d’oeurves.  Next our incredibly elegant 2004 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Montrachet Le Montrachet follows with our seafood course.

The following courses showcase our 1990 Bordeaux which are drinking beautifully now, jumping out of the glass with silky smooth mouthfeel, juicy fruits and spicy aromas. We get to compare the 1990 Château Haut-Brion with the 1990 Château La Mission Haut-Brion, and next the 1990 Château Lafite Rothschild will go with one of Wayne’s creations that will let the Lafite shine.

Finally, Wayne’s dessert course will be paired with the 2001 Château Rieussec Sauternes, making the perfect finale to this Bodacious 1990 Bordeaux Cellarbration.
