Valentine’s wine tastings (and Spanish wine dinners) to melt the heart
What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than exploring the romance-filled world of wine? Gaze lovingly at this list of wine tastings, dinners and events created by Dayton-area wine retailers and restaurants via the Herculean compilation efforts of a Dayton-based wine listserv. The opportunities for Valentine’s pleasure are limitless.
Speaking of pleasure, Saturday’s Arrow Far Hills tasting promises plenty of Australian beauties (see below), and in addition, here’s some additional information on two — count em, two — Spanish wine dinners on the docket for next week. And they’re not on the same night, meaning that you could — I’m just sayin’ — sign up for both. Do we live in a great world or what?
El Meson, 903 E. Dixie Drive in West Carrollton, will host a Spanish wine dinner at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16, that will feature five wines from different regions (and different grapes) of Spain, each paired with a tapas course. The cost is $65, not including tax or tip, and reservations are required. For more information, call (937) 859-8229.
On Thursday, Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m., McCormick & Schmick’s at 4429 Cedar Park Drive in The Greene in Beavercreek will host a five-course Spanish wine dinner. The menu will include Squash Blossoms Stuffed with Iberico Ham; Shrimp Escabeche with Blood Orange Mojo; Paella Valencia; Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce; and Calanda Peaches with Meringue. The cost is $60, not including tax or tip, and reservations are required. For more information, call Melissa Camp at (937) 431-9765.
