A little spice

Hi Folks,

As we edge closer to our tasting and are trying to survive the continued heat we thought it would make sense to provide more details on adding a little spice to our palates. We are trying something a bit different this time.

Note: Please arrive by 6:30pm for appetizers. The meal and tasting will begin at 7pm.

Everyone will bring a bottle of wine per the specifications below. The wine price point is $25 - $35.

In terms of the menu and our requests of you:

We would like two people to bring one Indian appetizer each with a white wine that pairs well against any spices in your appetizer. Please note in the Comments if you will bring an appetizer and which type. Examples of Indian appetizers are:

Samosas

Pakoras

Pani Puri/Golgappa

Seekh kebab

Paneer tikka

We would like two people to bring one Indian dessert each with a wine that pairs with the sweetness of these desserts. Please note in the Comments if you will bring a dessert and which types. Examples of Indian desserts are:

Gulab Jamun

Jalebi

Kheer or Rasgullah or Kulfi (milk-based)

Jyoti and I will prepare and provide a dinner menu of:

Chicken Tikka
Chole (street style) (chickpeas)
Pulao (rice)
Aloo Jeera (potatoes)
Matar Paneer (peas and cheese)
Raita (yogurt with fresh vegetables)
Kuchumber (cucumber salad)
Paratha (double layer flat bread)

Spice level will be medium (a little spicy) and appetites are needed.

For the remaining 8 people, we’d ask that each of you consider bringing a red and it’s your choice on varietal and origin but perhaps you can grab different ones and state in the comments what you’re bringing. We will mix them up before serving so it’s blind and we can then savour the wine with the food. Bring a bag with your wine so we can keep it blind.

We sent out the address via email to all attendees. If anything has changed, please update your RSVP as soon as possible since we have a large waitlist for this event.

Let us know if you have any questions!
