Good Eats at ZAP!

On January 28, 2010, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Fort Mason Center you will find me drinking Zinfandel and eating delicious food executed by a slew of talented chefs. Color me excited when 50 Bay Area restaurants pair their food with 50 wineries. Zinfandel or the delicious full bodied red wine that comes from those adorable fat stubby little vines just so happens to be one of my favorite varietals. Needless to say I will be in foody/Wine-O heaven this weekend. Tickets are still available through www.zinfandel.org or 877-772-2545 for all of this weekends events. Some of the pairings that get me the most excited in the Good Eats & Zinfandel pairing are ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING from famed Hawaiian chef Beverly Gannon, the proprietor of the Hali'imaile General Store. Chef Gannon will bring to the table dishes such as succulent Crab Cannelloni with Saffron Cream Sauce and Joe's Favorite Meatloaf with Hawaiian Sweetbread Role. She will be pairing with Zins from Three Wine Company & Peachy Canyon Winery. Some other exciting looking dishes are Pork Rillette with Pickeled Red Onions and Saba from Rose's Cafe and Beef Braised in Dry Creek Old Vine Zin Served Over Polenta... these are just some teasers but come see for yourself this Thursday!
