Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 12:19 PM
If your Valentine's plans include wine (and you don't mind spreading the love beyond Feb. 14), there are some nifty opportunities coming up this week. Grab your sweetie and hit the grape highway.
The Wine Chap in Belle Meade is first with the news of a special Von Schleinitz Wine Dinner at Miel at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb, 18. This is a great opportunity to try some German wines from the Von Schleinitz winery, which is located in the Mosel region.The winemaker, Konrad Haehn, will be present to guide you through the wines, which will be matched with a menu from the very talented kitchen at Miel.
The wines being served are:
Riesling Sekt Brut Sparkling
Pinot Noir Rose
Riesling Kabinett
Apollo Dry Riesling
Pinot Noir
Riesling Auslese
Price is $49 plus tax & tip. Space is limited so please reserve your place early with Miel at 298-3663.
We told you a few weeks back about the "Heart and Soul" benefit event for the American Heart Association at Werthen Lofts. Mother Nature dealt them a cruel kick in the teeth last weekend, but luckily the date of the event has been changed. If you're interested, check your calendar for Feb. 20 from 7 to 11 p.m..
Tickets are $35 per person in advance and $50 per person on the day of the event, so buy your tickets early.
For more information go to www.nashvilleheartandsoul.com.
Thanks to Grace's Plaza Wine & Spirits for the heads up about the change.
Amerigo on West End invites you to a Pietra Santa Wine Tasting on Wednesday, Feb., 17, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Pietra Santa is a family-run estate producing artisanal wines and olive oils in California's Central Coast. Pietra Santa means Sacred Stone in Italian, and was named in honor of unique soils rich in limestone and shale. The wines are predominately single varietal, estate-based and made to showcase the marriage between the exceptional terroir and the individual characteristics of each grape.
