An Evening in Inglenook

The Norfolk, Nebraska Branch of International Wine & Food celebrated An Evening in Inglenook, highlighting six wines from Inglenook Winery, along with a personal video tour of the Inglenook winery and cellars hosted by Michael Gates, followed by a multi-course meal of traditional Italian cuisine paired with Inglenook wines.  

Upon arrival, a 2020 Sauvignon Blanc was served, a delicate precursor to what awaited us! An appetizer course of Gorgonzola cheese with Mostarda, fresh Mozzarella with Fire Roasted Tomato and Prosciutto was paired with a 2019 Edizizone Pennino Zinfandel. Our taste buds were officially "lit up!" Next, a traditional Italian Wedding Soup was served with a 2020 Blancaneaux, Inglenook's preeminent white wine meaning "white waters" in French, featuring a blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne varietals. So unique! Our entree for the evening was Strip Steak, Spaghetti with Marinara, and Brussel Sprouts, which were tasted with two robust red wines, the 2019 Rubicon (a Bordeaux blend) and the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. Delizioso! For dessert, a red wine poached pear and vanilla Pana Cotta was matched with a special Inglenook family Malvasia wine, topping off a wine and food experience enjoyed by all!
