Last night I had the pleasure of being invited to The Errazuriz Salt Cellar Series by Mr Sean Heather. I have to be honest, I have been to many wine and food pairing dinners and have found them mostly boring and drawn out. Usually I can't wait for the talk to be over so I can get down to the eating and the drinking.
Well my internet friends, this was not one of those experiences. The chat was light and concise and our hosts, Restaurant Managers Chad Gaskell & Mike Mitchell and Errazuriz North American Regional Director Rodrigo Rodero got to the point quickly. Only taste profiles and a brief discussion about Chilean growing climates were shared. I really got the feeling that our hosts really wanted us to ENJOY our experience the best way possible... with our taste buds.
Now I have to say the organic wines, the carefully chosen cheeses & meats and the hand made preserves spoke for themselves, what really got me was the truly social nature of sharing this experience with friends and strangers alike at Salt's cellar long table. By the end of the evening I had made 4 new friends.
Peter, Karen, Llyod and Catherine, I look forward to breaking bread with you again at the next Salt Cellar Series hosted by Meyer Family Vineyards.
