Finger Lakes wine dinner at Le Bec
This is gonna be good.
Finger Lakes wine dinner at Le Bec
Much like our own underrated Pennsylvania vinified wines, New York's Finger Lakes region has been producing some good juice for sometime now. The cooler climate of the region is perfect for growing European varietals like Gewurztraminer and Cabernet Franc. If you've never had the pleasure of tasting New York State wines, have a hankering for a fancy-pants tasting menu or just need an excuse to go to Le Bec (1523 Walnut St.), mark your calenders because sommelier Philippe Sauriat is hosting a dinner with Ravines Cellars next Tuesday, February 26.
Ravines makes some of the finest old world style wines on the east coast and Le Bec's kitchen has done an even finer job building a tasting menu to pair with them (think duck egg tagliatelle with sweet breads and romaine hearts paired with a 2007 Riesling and a meritage matched with Morbier, Honeycrisp apples and walnut fugasse). Tickets for this epic wine dinner are running $195 a head for eight courses. Call 215-567-1000 to reserve your spot.
