FOOD & WINE

As we walk through life, some things appear that are so obvious. With us it's often in the form of Food & Wine. Spaces, events, themes...all the visual temptations that just need food and wine added. Insert here.

We met the owner of a local business at the Sonoma Food and Wine Awards, Mitote Food Park in Santa Rosa celebrating 2 years of business. The conversation was flowing and the idea began; fine wine being served at his Mexican Food Truck Park. And this is the story of how we are introducing people to new ideas of Food & Wine pairing.

Mat & I visited Mitote Food Park days after meeting the owner. We were so impressed with the vibe and then the food. All that we could say was " wow, this would go great with our Sauv Blanc and this would be a cool pairing with Muscat." And we already new that our Cab Franc is a fun wine with intense mole sauce. Which actually means sauce ( so that's double sauce sauce ). But the empanada from Tucamami truck was a AhHa moment. Time to put these to the true test.

  

So the meetings and preparations began early May. And by mid May we had a group of our neighboring wineries game to pour and the Mitote team prepared to host and off we go!

   

With 7 food trucks surrounding the table setting, each guest that attended received 4 food tickets to use as they liked. And 12 wineries pouring 3 wines each. This gave the guests a great opportunity to explore.

My picks were quesabirria, fish tacos, empanadas and sopes. There were really too many option to pick from.

What a fun opportunity and experience! Great food and so many new wines were being sampled, Godello, Vermentino, White Zin and our Muscat Blanc...it was truly a fab event and everyone involved asked when's the next event?

Stay tuned, to be announced.
