Oct. 11: Marnie Old's Rioja wine dinner at Amada
Marnie Old likens a good Rioja to a sommelier's LBD (little black dress) — it's a wine whose versatility works with many foods on multiple occasions. To test this theory, join Old as she teams up with chef Jose Garces at Amada (217-219 Chestnut St.) for a Rioja wine dinner and pairing lesson next Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 6 p.m. You'll start off with Rioja Rosado, then settle into a flight of Riojas Blanco and Tinto paired with a selection of Garces' Spanish tapas. Make sure to save room, as the meal continues with Crianzas and Reservas served with family-style portions of Wagyu beef, scallops and chicken a la plancha, habas a la Catalan and garbanzos con espinancas. End the night sweetly with lemon torta, a personalized copy of Old's latest book, Wine Secrets, and lessons on the sensory science behind pairing vino not just with a protein, but with a dish's seasoning and cooking method. Dinner is $70 per person, not including tax/tip; to make reservations, call 215-625-2450.
